Of local interest is a film of Scotland's aeroplane flight at ' Athletic Park. THE EMPRESS THEATRE. The attractiveness of the programme at the Empress Theatre was demonstrated last evening by large attendances. The leading production is the "Kalem Company's stirring society drama, "The Shadow of Guilt," which is full of thrills from start to finish. Among the remaining items are " Tenderfoot's Money " (A.B. sensational drama), "Dog Traction in the Belgian Army" (travel), and "The Vapour Bath" (farce-comedy). The tuneful contributions by the Empress full orchestra are much appreciated. PEOPLE'S PICTURE PALACE. The chief attraction at the Peopled Picture Palace is "A Highland Romance," a story of love and adventure in the Scottish highlands. Another interesting drama is " A Western Sister's Devotion," and the comics are more than usually humorous. The programme will be repeated this evening. N THE NEW THEATRE. "The Finger Print," a capable "feature" occupies pride of place in the current programme of the New Theatre. The story concerns the adventures of a detective, which are vividly enacted.
