ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. DAVID COPPERFIELD. The love story of David Copperfield is to be screened to-night, and is a singularly touching photoplay by reason of the"simplicity of its story and the gradual development of its dramatic grip and strength. The narrative, which was written originally by the inimitable Charles Dickens, concerns the trials, adventures, and the love intrigues of David Copperfield. The beautiful English atmosphere has been maintained throughout to perfection, a.nd the cast has been so well chosen that the onlookers cannot but imagine they are in an entirely different world. IN LOVE WITH LOVE. Oscar Wilde, in his story “The Picture of Dorian Gray,” was probably •the first to draw acharacter thoroughly in love wi.th love. Ann Jordan, the pretty flapper so skilfully portrayed by Marguerite De La Mott in the recent Fox production, was also in love with love, but she didn’t know it. She thought she really loved successive suitor who placed a solitaire on her finger.
