ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. YELLOW FINGERS* Ralph Ince plays the leading male role in “Yellow Fingers,” in which Olive Borden is stared, and which is to be screened to-night. As the gruff sea captain who has earned the sobriquet of “Brute” Shane, he does some of t.he, finest acting of nis screen career. The part is one which provides a wide emotional scope taking in love, anger, pride, pathos, and a sprinkling of the humorous. The story, while comparatively simple in plot, holds the. interest from beginning to the wholly unexpected ending, being filled with all the romance and intrigue of the South Seas;
