ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTUKM. TO-NIGHT "A WESTERN MUSKETEER.” "A Western Musketeer.” with Leo Maloney in the leading-role, will be shown to-night. This picture is a story of the Great. American West — the West which every true-blooded American is proud of. It leads the spectator into a world apart from his daily life, and as it unfolds he is given delightful forgetfulness of the cares of the day: It has no lesson to teach : it has no propaganda to beguile the people. Its sole mission is to entertain. Starting off without a moment’s delay, the drama moves with lightning speed and becomes a veritable loop-the-loop of rough riding. straight shooting, and heroics, and full credit for this remarkable result must be given to William O. Bertram. SATURDAY NIGHT. "THE ETERNAL CITY.” Tlie richest and most powerful man in all Italy. A poor soldier of fortune. They are pitted against each other for a prize—the hand of the most beautiful girl in Rome, a pretty maiden who repulsed the attentions of all because of a secret sorrow. This dramatic struggle dominates the plot of "The Eternal City,” a First. National picture by George iFtzmaurice from Sir Hall Caine’s story, which will he screened to-morrow night. The photoplay was filmed entirely in Italy, iu the settings which the author had in mind when lie wrote the story. Barbara La More plays the part of the girl Lionel Barrymore is the man of wealth, and Bert Lytell enacts the role of the poor lover. Others in the notable caist are Richard Bennett and Montagu Love.
