'MIDSUMMER MADNESS’
For those married couples who imagine that their romance has faded there ia a splendid lesson in William De Mille's Paramount picture ‘Midsummer Madness,’ which commenced at the Empire this afternoon. The story, which is based on Cosmo Hamilton’s novel ‘His Friend and Hia Wife,’ introduces two young married couples who have been lifelong friends. In one family the wife, not receiving the little attentions lor which every young wife yearns, in hungry for romance, and in the other tho husband is surfeited by his wife’s attentions, and begins to long for new conquests. The inevitable romance between tho romantic wife and the over-loved husband develops when the other husband and wife both happen to be out of town at the same time, and affairs reach a critical point. The miscreants awaken to a full sense of tho wrong they are doing to innocent people. After a highly emotional climax all ends happily. The overture bv the Empire Orchestra of twelve will be ‘ Gloriana ’ (Weidt). Tho reserve plan is at The Bristol. There will bo no change in prices.
