ENTERTAINMENTS.
GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. CHARLEY’S. AUNT. ‘‘Charley's Aunt,” with Syd Chaplin in the title role, ip .the principal attraction for to-nigh',t. The production, in addition ,to being beautiful, is so smooth and steady it seems actually to flow along. There are no raw edges, no unfinished corners. The simple story of a college boy who assumes the part of an elderly aunt in order to help his, chump win the girls they love is told hi the straight-.from-the-shoulder manner which is so delightful and refreshing. Without recourse to gags and by-plots, the play attains a maximum of suspense and manages, by some miracle to maintain the fullest share of comedy throughout every moment of 'the production. There is not a single slow moment in .the film, even in the‘rare intervals when Chaplin himself is not on the screen.
