ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURED TO-NIGHT FLOOD-GATES. The attraction at the Gaiety Theatre to-night, will be "Flood-gates,” a story of the great outdoors starring John LowelL supported by Evangeline Russell, Jane Thomas, Ivy Ward, and F. Seirano Keating. It was written by L. Case Russell, who is said to have more successfully produced photoplays to her credit than any other author. One of the big scenes is the blowing up of a huge dam and the destruction by flood of a town. Thus scene alone is said to have taken several months to make and to have cost a small fortune. Many other thrilling scenes and .a strong love story make this one o fthe most interesting pictures of the year. TO-MORROW NIGHT. THE FIGHTING BLADE. Richard Barthelmess is the star in “The Fighting Blade.” a First National picture, which is to be shown to-morrow night. He plays the title role, portraying the redoubtable Ker•stenbioock in a manner every bit as admirable. “The Fighting Blade That is his character. Most feared of all duelists of his day, supreme, superb. Audacious, dashing, daring in the face of death ; chivalry, tenderness, and humility mark his course with women. And Barthelmess interprets his varying mootis with rare skill.
