ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY theatre pictures.

TO-NIGHT "THE SILENT STRANGER.” Fred Thompson’s display of horsemanship in the splendid Master Picture “The Silent Stranger” may be seen to-night. Thompson’s rescue of a baby girl from a buckboard runaway is not. only exciting and courageous, but incorporates the three daring istunts in one. He dashes into the path of the on-rushing horses, grabs the bridle of one horse and swings himself between the team, climaxing this bit of daring by standing on the galloping horses to furnish scenes for some very thrilling Roman riidng. Hazel Keener plays the feminine lead. Miss Keener is not only an actress of exceptional ability,.but a noted beauty ais well. THURSDAY NIGHT. “THE NEXT CORNER.” Absence, does not make the heart grow fonder, according to Dorothy Mack,ail!, featured player with Conwav Tearle, Lon Chaney, Ricardo Cortez. and Louise Dresser in the Paiamount picture “The Next Corner,” which is to be shown to-morrow night. Miss Mackaill plays the role of a wife w r ho is left for three years alone in Paris by her husband, who is engaged in engineering work in the Argentine. Gradually the memory of her husband fades and she forms another attachment. They correspond regularly, but the excitement and diverse entertainments of Paris are more pow’erful than the letters, and she unconsciously permits her husband's memory to pass out of he'.' heart.
