EMPRESS THEATRE.
The difference between life in the city and life in the country is finely contrasted in . "On tho 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_ cleyer character study at the same time. Tile big scene is the flood tragedy, wherein the old river boat is recommissioned and steams down the town's main streets, rescuing inhabitants. Ihe storm scene is remarkably sensational. The supports aro excellent, and the musical accompaniments by Mr. Matt Dixon's orchestra add enjoyment. "Three "Women," to be shown at the Empress Theatre on 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 Codjv Mary Garr, Willard Louis, and Pierre Gc-ndron. The settings in the picture aro exceedingly artistic, and there is an unusual plot, excellent acting, and great direction.
