EMPRESS THEATRE.

Bebe Daniels in the role of an amateur detective brings all her comedy sense to bear, and with the assistance of Rod La Rocque, in the character of a writer turned taxi driver to secure copy far a novel, she succeeds in making Wild, Wild Susan' a go-getter of the first variety. Frank Tuttle directs Miss Daniele again, and the Paramount' production at the Empress Theatre is causing, much laughter. In the second feature, "Broadway Gold," the story includes a mysterious murder, a motor smash, and love eminating from the mystery. There are other pictures to interest and amuse, and music by the Empress Orchestra oners delightful relaxation. * "THAT DEVIL QUEMADO." Fred Thomson, now looked upon as one of the outstanding successes in Western characterisations, will be seen in Ins latest picture, "That Devil Quemado,' at the Empress Theftre on Friday. Thomson masquerades as the scion of a Spanish, family, but is really an American whose education included a term at Yale, lo the country, at large he is known as Quemado, a bandit of the type that robs the rich and gives to the poor, although there is no visualisation of his misdeeds other than an anxiety to help families in distress and a rather audacious method ot conducting his love affairs. Silver King, the wonder horse, again demonstrates what a marvellous animal he is. "Not So Long Ago" is a charming story of New York, with heart interest, humour, and quaintness. Betty Bronson and Ricardo Cortez are the stars. There will be an excellent, supporting ; programme in addition to the two features. JO
