EMPRESS THEATRE.

A Warner Brothers classic of the screen is scheduled to appear at the Empress lheatre to-day. This is "The Gold Diggers," featuring Hope Hampton in an adaptation of the David Belasco stage play of the same name. Contrary to its literal meaning, "gold diggers" are not people engaged in searching the depths of the earth for the precious metal, but as shown in this picture, they are beau* tiful _ young men, whose profession is dancing and acting, but who spend their time "digging" for gold in the form of entertainment, jewels, clothing, and money; and these incidentals they get from business men who seek diversion from the worry and stress of business. Ihus a troupe of gold diggers, led by one Jerry Lamar, .the wildest and gayest of the party, live merrily in a large apartment while their expenses are being paid for by a number of wealthy men. How true love enters into their lives and complicates the entire affair and how Jerry plots and plans to bring things to a successful termination i s brought out in this film in a highly interesting and thoroughly amusing way. The large cast is comprised of Hope Hampton, Louise Fazenda, Gertrude Short, Arita Gillman, Peggy Brawn, Margaret Seddon, Ann Cornwall, Edna Tichenor, Frances Ross, Marie Prade, and Louise Beaudet.
