GAIETY THEATRE TO-NIGHT. THE WHISPERED NAME. Tha; truth is stranger than fiction is proven by the success of the remarkable picture “The Whispered Name,’’ Universal adaptation of the stage play, “The Co-respondent.” The picture, to be shown to-night, is founded on fact.

In "The Shriek of Araby,” as the new production is known, Ben Turpin and Kathryn McGuire, the featured plavers, would make you believe that ham and ostrich eggs were the regular morning meal and that the milkman delivered the milk and cream each day and even the newsboy left the daily papeqs at tlie tent entrance ; also that living in a tent is as clean, wholesome, and comfortable as in hotel
