ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. PETER THE GREAT. It is the Paramount picture, "Peter the Great," to be tshown to-night, which tells in a tensely human story the rise of Russia and the romance of two of the greatest figures the world has known. The royal romance of Peter the Great and Catherine is one of the red pages that is shown in'this great picture. “Peter the Great" is directed by Dimitri Bucbowetski, who is a writer of dramatic stories and a leading Continental director. During the war this man had many adventures in Russia and has lately escaped from that country and is now directing pictures in the United States. SATURDAY NIGHT. SINGLE WIVES. The First National picture, "Single Wives,’’ which is to be shown tomorrow night, was written around a modern society home where a husband's indifference to liis wife brings about a most tragic state of affairs. A wife seeking love and attention is virtually forced into another man's arms through her husband’s lack of appreciation. The husband is too wrapped up in his business to take part in their social obligations, accepting the proverbial standard that “a fish should not. be fed bait alter it is caught." In "Single Wives” Corinne Griffith, credited as being one of the screen’s most attractive stare, has a role ideally suited to her in the part of Betty Jordan, the wife. Milton Sills is the husband, and Lou Tellegen the third angle in the triangle?
