ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. “A SOCIETY SCANDAL.” “A Society Scandal,” which is to be shown to-night, is the most sensational story of modern society that the screen has seen. Gorgeous gowns, dramatic scenes with Gloria Swanson as the woman who sweans revenge on the man who has torn her name to shreds in the divorce court. In this Paramount picture Miss Swanson is supported by Rod La Rocque and Ricardo Cortez. SATURDAY NIGHT. “THE GIRL IN THE LIMOUSINE.” You will have one .of the most unusual opportunities of your lifef to. laugh until your sides ache to-mor-row night, when “The Girl in the Limousine,” the screen version of the famous Broadway stage success, will be shown. The play has been produced with Larry Senwn in the leading role. Senwn has heretofore confined his efforts to comedies of one or two reel-lengths, but in this picture he steps out into the field of feattM’C work with excellent results. Thrills .and laughs judiciously mixed is Semon’ts recipe for ideal entertainment, and having seen “The Girl in the Limousine’’ you will say that the recipe is perfect. BOXING TOURNAMENT.
