EMPRESS THEATRE.
Two fine features are contained in the new programme at the Empress Theatre, shown for the first time yesterday. First on the list is'; " Eyes of the Heart;," a film which gives dainty Mary Miles Minter a role entirely different from anything she has previously done. She, in this picture, is Laura, the blind girl who is sheltered by a band .of crooks, s who lead her to! believe her friends good and her home beautiful. There comes the chance of restoring her sight,, and on the screen is shown in powerful form the situation which faces her friends —whether to leave the girl blind and in merciful ignorance or to give her back her sight and the most bitter of disillusionments. Intensely dramatic in-, cidents follow the restoration of sight— in particular, the rescue scene when the girl loses her reason—but in the end Laura sees not only with her physical eyes, but with ",the eyes of the heart," and all is well. The other main picture is in well-judged contrast, being a really good Mack .Sennett-, comedy^ "Love, Honour, and Behave." Full of really, good humour, the picture brings home the fact that to, judge entirely on circumstantial evidence is dangerous. The programme, with its supports, including a Gaumont Graphic containing pictures of 'all the latest interesting events, -will be shown .again to-nighik .
