"PICCADILLY," "CHEYENNE," TWO FINE FEATURES.

To-niglit is the last screening of tliis particularly good programme at the Gaiety and despite tlie eokl weather a good liouse thoroughly enjoyed this great bill. Tlie liub of London, the centre of the world — Piccadilly Circus. Life, pulsating life, striding on its pavements, creeping in its gutters! Life, pleasure-seoking, passion-a-idden life, surging ancl struggling — pouving in eountless thousands ancl roaring rapicls to the great maelstrom. And in the very vortex of it all, the Piccadilly Night Club. Above the moving tnasses ihe scintillating sky-sjgns flasli their brilliant stories to tho world. The lights of the theatre fade and .those of the club blaze forth a clazzling welcome. Through its doors floek the gay denizens of the night. Lovely women, foocls and wines to tickle the palate of the epicure, music to deligbt the dancer — all the tempting fascinations of this.perfect pleasure business. Mr Arnold Bennett has cTon e a sensible thing about British films. He has made a kind of extract of all their Faults and written a good film storv from the old ingredients. "Piccadilly" as tlie result is callecl, is a British rnternational Picture. It is a |imple melodrama about a night club pruprietor, his leading dancer (and, incidentally. mistress) and tlie Chinese scullery maid, who supersedes her. E. A. Dupont-, who has directed the film, well knows how to strike the eye. With Mr Thomas, Dupont has been extremetv suceessful, but it is the Chinese scullery maid, the languishing "Anna May Wong, who carries off the honours. together witli her compatriot, King Ho-Chang. Come out to Cheyenne. See the greatest rodeo ever heldl See Ken Maynard ride bucking bronchos, bull-clog o-acing cattle, ancl ride to victory on Tarzan in one of the most thrilling races ever held — with a beautiful girl as the prize.

All the latest topicals are added and with the brilliant assistance of the capable Gaiety Orchestra. under the clirection of Mr W. M. Mitchell, complete a good entertainment. Prices are as usual.
