GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES.
TO-NIGHT. THE IRON HORSE. It took three years to complete "Tiie Iron Hoi)se,” which is to be shown to-night. Member’s of ,the cast and approximately 5000 extras lived through the rigorous months on the Nevada desert and the Sierra range in tents and lean-to shacks, enduring the same hardships, so far as the elements were concerned, as those experienced by the ,transcontinental pioneers they portrayed. Two complete towns were built in a setting as picturesque as that which surrounded ohl Benton in tiie days when ; eastern newspapers, described it as “hell-dn-wheels.” Three tribes of Indians were used in the, picture. To feed the extras and' the Indians it was necessary to employ 200 cooks and assistants. The cast included all nationalities, with a preponderance of Irish and Chinese.
