The box plan is at the Bristol, and the day salos may be had on Wednesday at Perry's, tobacconist, Manners Street. EMPRESS TIIEATKE. The story of Marie, whose part is played by Bthel Clayton, in tho fine World drama, "Tho Witch Woman," now scruming at the Empress Theatre, is a striking .one. The film is produced in first-class stylo, and. some of tho scenes of Bohemian life in Paris are remarkably true to life in their unconventiality. "The TVitch Woman" will be shown all this week, and patrons are advised to come early or reserve their seats at the Empress. EVERYBODY'S THEATRE. Picture patrons who specialise in detective stories will no doubt welcome tho Pathe feature drama, "The Hark o f Cain," screening this' -week at Everybody's Theatre The stovy is bold in its conception, and very cleverly -worked oi't. Ivene Vernon Castle, -who takes the part of Alice, a girl who iluds o'it tho identity of the man who murdered her father, has a role that suits her admirably, and her work as an amateur detective iB cleverly done. Antonio Moreno, as the aecuued Tjut innocent man, has a difficult role, but ho .does full justice to the part. O.her items include the thirteenth chapter of "Tho Mystery of the Double Cross," entitled "The Face of the Stranger."
