ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURK& TO-NIGHT ‘•THE STRANGER.” ‘ Tne Stranger” is the first story of John Galsworthy’s to find a translation to the screen, it ip taken from ‘‘The First and the Last." It is a drama of the struggle of a girl of the streets for happiness, and when it is almost within her grasp the man she loves becomes a fugitive from justice. Then another takes the blame and the two find happiness through sacrifice. Betty Compson is the girl and PJchard Dix the man. Others in. the cast are Lewis Stone and Tully Marshall. ‘‘The Stranger” will be screened to-night. “THE GOLDFISH." Constance Talmadge, who is appearing in “The Goldfish,” a First National picture to be screen to-mor-row night, has a frothy, effervescent manner which other actresses have tried to imitate, but which is peculiar to her. Constance is typically American. She has an individuality all her own, and an I-don’t-care way pf doing things which is amusing. "The Goldfish” is ideally suited to Constance. It is the story of a New York song plugger’s wife who drags her cakeeating husband up the ladder of success with her. Constance is uproariously funny as the “poor New York working girl,” who makes good in society. “The Goldfish” was adapted from the. successful stage comedy of the same title by C. Gardner Sullivan. The supporting cast consists of Jack Mulhall, Jean Hersholt, Joan Standing. and Edward Connelly.
