EMPRESS THEATRE.

The programme which conimenced at the Empress Theatre to-day is one of the best picture entertainments seen for some time. It is particularly distinctive for the quality and quantity of the pictures. "Salvage," Pauline Frederick's latest Robertson-Cole starring vehicle, might aptly be termed an "epic of mother-love," for this greatest of all emotions in its tenderest, highest, and most beautiful momenta is the basis of the story. The atory was written and adapted to the screen by Daniel F. Whitcomb, who founded the characters and situations from incidents which came under his notice during his career as' a newspaper man in New York City. Milton Sills gives a wonderful interpretation of the husband of a poor moral weakling who begrudges the time she must spend to care for the little daughter. Other notables in the cast are Ralph Lev/is and Raymond Hatton. Tlie ambitious British film production, "Fires of Eate/' a Master pictures, is an adaptation of a story written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, first as a novel, "The Tragedy of the Korosko," and afterwards as a play, "Fires of Fate." The entire picture was photographed in ancient and modern E?ypt. Larry Semon in "Trouble Brewing" is seen in one of his best comedies and one that raises many a laugh.
