EMPRESS THEATRE.

There commenced at, the Empress Theatre last night an excellent doublefeature bill. "Greater than Love," the wonder and beauty of a mother's love and faith, is told in a'drama of great human _ interest. Louise-Glaum, associated with Maples Hamilton, and a bevy, of charming girls/ figures as Grace, Merrill, leader of a set whose methods ot living are shady. One of the girls, fresh from the conntry; incongruous in her tinsel surroundings, believes in a gay roue, but when enlightenment comes, she prefers death to ' 'going on." Her mother, sweet and placid, comes to'the city, and; despite valiant efforts on the. part of the girls to appear true blue before her searching eye, the truth comes but. Miss Glaum and her associates wear some ravishing, gowns. The second feature is a diverting comedy-drama, "Phil for Short," in which, Evelyn Greeley makes a delightful tomboy, masquerading to escape the unwelcome attentions of her guardian. Her love affair with a Greek professor,. who has had an unfortunate love affair and hates women, is hilariously funny in''parts. How she eventually wins over her stern husband by using a flirtatious musician as a foil, make a diverting comedy. The film showing the race befcwen Beauford and Gloaming at Sydney is full of interest, 'as is also the Gazette. Another "Blue Fox" serial, and (the Empress Orchestra; under Mr/ H. G. Avery, complete the bill.'.:,' '■ ': '■ ". ■' / ■,■■■' ,
