ENTERTAINMENTS.

GAIETY THEATRE PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. RUSTLERS’ RANCH. A pretty romance of the West spiced with plenty of fast action is the current offering to be screened tonight, starring Art Acord. It is a stary about that most romantic of aU callings—the roving cowboy, and about a widow and her daughter whe are being persecuted by the local banker. SATURDAY NIGHT. THE FIGHTING DEMON. Lured into South AmErica on the promise fff a big jcib as a safe and vault expert, a profession in which he is pre-emine.nt, in his smashing new photodrama, “The Fighting Demon,” Richard Talmadge runs the gamut of comedy and thrills as only this remarkable, stunt star can do.

When the screen’s big mystery melodrama “The Bat” makes its local bow at Turua on Tuesday the problem o.f the audience will be to detect the identity o'f the title character as the film progresses. “The Ba”’ is one sensation after another, with no solution bubbling up until the moment the story gives up its secret.-.
