ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. CONTRABAND. . Even tliougli Dois Wilson is. the only girl in the featured cast of the Paramount picture “Contraband,” to be shown to-night, she hasn’t everything her own way. Miss Wilson has the role of-a young girl, who inherits her uncle’s- run-down email-town newspaper, takes it over, and, what is more, makes a “go” of it. She is featured in the production’with Noah Beery, Raymond Hatton, .and Raymond McKee. Edwards Davis heads the cast-playing injsupport of the principals. He» flSs' a heavy role of a crooked politician, .head of a band of rum-runner,s; who, heretofore, had used the Gideon Free Press as a means of furthering his schemes, hnd he is furious when he learns that he cannot handle the- new “boss of the paper as he h’ad handled her uncle. TO-MORROW NIGHT. - RED LIGHTS. . One of ,the greatest mystery plays of the year was “The Rear Car,” by Edward Rose. The play ran for a long period in Los Angeles and was taken East. The Goldwyn Company made ■the screen version of mystifying piece. “Red Lights,” as it is called, has in the cast many of the screen's best artists, including Raymond Griffith, Marie Prevost, Joannie Walter, and Alice Lake. Raymond Griffith assumes the role of the “crime deflector.” In “Red Lights,” which is to be shown to-morrow night, the mysterious complications, keep a tense interest throughout,and hold the audience in a state-of suspense until the very last scene. During -the production of the stage play members of the audience shrieked and gasped at the thrilling situations. The screen version promises to present much more of a thrill, as the different scenes can be made more realistic than they could possibly have been bn the stage.
