EMPRESS THEATRE.

The First National picture, "The Voice from the Minaret," from Robert Hichens's famous novel, will, be finally screened at the Empress Theatre to-day. In the role of Lady Adrienne Carlyle, fleeing to England in revolt against Her husband's infidelity, Mies Talmadfie' rises to supreme heights. In the bill are Zoo scenes in Sydney, a Mermaid comedy "Cold Chills," and an Empress News Film. Mr. H. Franklin, a baritone, sings desert songs. Incidental music by the Empress orchestra adds to the general pleasure. "Wandering Daughtera," by , Dana Buruet, the initial James Young.production for First National, which' w" coming to the Empress Theatre to-morrow, is replete with ultra-modern humour as well as tense dramatic situations. Not only may satire be found, but there are characterisations that reveal the amusing contrasts between the past and present generations. Alice Howell, the inimitable comedienne^ takes her fling indrama in the role of the servant. Her attempts to keep up the pace set by the example of her employer's daughter are as ludicrous as the satire of the story The supporting films are of a high order The novelty interlude will be a series of dainty dances arranged by Miss Lucy Sullivan and executed by dainty Billie Murphy. The Twx plan is at Tfie Bristol till 5 p.m.; then at the theatre.
