EMPRESS THEATRE.

"Her Marriage Vow," the screen version of Owen Davis's famous play of the same name, comes' to the Empress Theatre to-day. Carol Hilton, already married, and having two children, is disappointed by her husband's failure to keep an evening's engagement due to a business conference. In the same house is living Estelle Winslow, Carol's girl friend. Estelle is entertaining Atherton and Ted Lowe. Ted is Carol's former sweetheart, and Estelle asks Carol to join the crowd. Bob Hilton comes home just in time to prevent one of his children, who are alone, from taking poison. He rushes up to Estelle's apartment and finds his wife with Ted, his bitter enemy. . Carol makes attempts to explain, but Bob drives her from his house. He keeps the two children. Later, during a terrible storm, Carol steals into her husband's house to see the children. She is about to kidnap them when Bob hears noises in the children's room. He believes it to be burglars and investigates with a gun. As he opens the door he shoots; the end comes when he finds his wife uninjured. He realises she has not broken "her marriage vow," and takes her back. The supporting programme consists of the latest Topical Budget and a Mack Sennett comedy, "Asleep on the Switch," starring Ben Turpin. The Empress Symphony Orchestra, under Mr. M. Dixon, will contribute an excellent programme. The box plan is at The Bristol till 5.30 p.m., then at the theatre. ' ■
