THE EMPRESS.
A five-reel elaborately staged drama, "The Vulture of Gold," occupies the most important place in the new pro. gramme of tho Empress Theatre continuous pictures to-day. According to the story, Eudore, a miserly old woman, is trustee for the estate of the widowed Marchioness of Hulston and her little son. A criminal named Griff is caught breaking into tho house by Eudore, who arranges with the man to spirit away the Marchioness and her son, bo- that Eudore may t seize their fortune. The kidnapping succeedsj and the captives are smuggled away to Griff's country house. The police seafch is hopeless ; but &ome time later Jean Moselle, a blind artist, t wanders by chance into GrilT's mansion. While groping around, Jean finds the Marchioness's little son, and, continuing his explorations, opens a door and accidentally permits the Marchioness to escape. Griff recaptures her, discovers the artist, and ejects him. Jean swears to solve the mystery of his adventures, and the effecting of his pro* miso makes the climax of the story. The picture is well supported.
