GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES. . / • TO-NIGHT. COMBAT. Rugged pitched battles are one of the features of “Combat,” which is to> be screened to-night, with House Petej’s and Wanda Hawley in the starring role. Among other virile action there are two thrilling fights which alone stand out as. sufficiently thrilling to be the climax of the story. But neither of them is the high point of the. story. This big moment comes in as thrilling as, ever was screened. The Arts of the fights is a gang affair, a free-for-all in whi h a crowd of lumberjacks mix up with' a gang of lumber poachers who have been stealing trees A clever toluch in this fight is that it takes place in front of “The Lumberjacks’ Rest.”
