‘THE GHOST TRAIN'

COMING TO THE EMPIRE The star feature on the programme at the Now Empire Theatre on I'riday will undoubtedly be ‘The Ghost Train.’ Hero is a thrilling mystery story which mixes a groat deal of nonsense with an exciting plot. The picture was adapted fiom Arnold Ridley’s sensational stage success, which was breath-taking and hair-raising to the highest degree. Tho scones are laid in a small country railway station, and tho mystery concerns an unscheduled train which passes through that station at midnight. The characters in tho picture are interpreted by a particularly strong cast of British actors, including Guy Newell and Lowell Sherman.

Tho First National comedy-drama. 1 Ladies’ Night in a Turkish Bath, will also be shown. Finding himself in an awkward position in a Turkish bath on ladies’ night, having a battle with his prospective mother-in-’aw, falling put with his going ou a wild party with his fathor-in-law-te-be, and being chased by the strong arm of the law when they make a raid —these a,re just a few of the really hilarious situations that Jack Mulhall, who is featured with Dorothy Mackaill—finds himself in in ‘ Ladies’ Night in a Turkish Bath ’—an intriguing! y entitled production. Miss Mackaill is reported to look jusl as beautiful as ever, and, with Mulhall, handled the really funny situations with remarkable skill. There is no doubt about the artistry of this clever starring duo, who are becoming increasingly popular with picture lovers. Ma and Pa, interpreted by James Finlayson and Sylvia Ashton, are two very clever characterisations that should keep one in a continual state of bubbling merriment. The efforts of Ma to “ reduce ” provoke much .laughter*
