EMPRESS THEATRE.
The difference between life in the city and life in the country Js finely contrasted in "On the Banks of the Wabash," a Master picture now showing daily at the Empress Theatre. Paul Dresser wrote the story, and since it concerns so many folk, it is naturally a clever character, study at the same time. The big scene is the flood tragedy, wherein the old river boat is recommissioned and steams down the town's main streets, rescuing inhabitants. The storm, scene is remarkably sensational. The supports are excellent,, and the musical accompaniments ' by Mr. Matt Dixon's orchestra add enjoyment. "Three Women," to be shown at the Empress Theatre next Friday, shows how-good a picture can be when excellent work in the production of a picture is done by the director. He has chosen an exceptional cast, including May M'Avoy, Marie Prevost, Pauline Frederick, Lew Cody, Mary Carr, Willard Louis, and Pierre Gendron. The Bettings in the picture are. exceedingly artistic, and there is an unusual plot, excellent acting, and great direction.
