ENTERTAINMENTS

TO-NIGHT. A WILD PARTY. A unique conception of the term “wild party” is presented in Universal’s current Gladys Walton production, to be screened at the Gaiety Theatre to-night. The story is built round a newspaper article that resulted in a threatened libel action. The succeeding events find the girl reporter who wrote the article striving frantically to prove the truth of her statements. The picture makes no pretense of being other than a. farce comedy, and Miss Walton is attractive as the society reporter who ‘scooped” the rival newspapers witn a story that was all wrong. SATURDAY NIGHT. THE LONELY ROAD. Katherine MacDonald’s “The Lonely Road” will be featured to-morrow night One of the most dramatic scenes is that which takes place when Warren Wade, the jealous young husband, follows his wife, Betty, to the establishment of Dr. Devereaux, an eminent surgeon. Misunderstanding the situation, Wade make an unprovoked attack on the doctor and a fear - ful fight ensues. When he Earns that the surgeon has just saved the life of his own little one, whom Betty has taken there for an operation, Wade comes to a full realisation of the terrible injustice he had been guilty of.
