ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES.

TO-NIGHT.

THE RUNAWAY.

.What practically amounts .to a record is William de Mijle’s achievement in directing “The Runaway,” which is to be screened to-night. As those who! read Charles Buck’s novel know, the story has to do for the most part with the Kentucky hills. And, even though it shthvs the life, of the mountaineers, there; isn’t a single revenue officer or whisky still shoiwn in the film. A quartette of fine players is featured.

Though “Clothes Make the Pirate,’’ which is also to be shown to-morrow night, is comedy with a capital “C,” some of the scenes in mid-ocean, where pirate ships of old are seem in conflict, provide real thrills seldom associated with comedy.
