AMUSEMENTS.

EMPRESS THEATRE. TO-NIGHT’S EXCELLENT BILL. For real entertainment, coupled with variety of subjects, the new change of programme to be submitted at the Empress to-night would be bard to excel, and a generous collection headed by a Universal special attraction, in which the popular and virile Hoot Gibson lias the starring role in a wild and woolly thrill picture, entitled “Dead Game.” When it is stated that the film story is a screen adaptation from one of the popular Ridgwell Oullum’s famous novels, patrons will have a fair idea of the entertainment value. Topicnl events intertwined with travel items is another instance of what may be expected in this week’s “International News.” Comedy, yes, the Century people have yet another screening absurdity in “Hold On,” where the fun is made fast and furious. Monday’s change will feature a superb Metro production, entitled “Little Eva Ascends,” with Gareth Hughes and an all-star cast. Patrons desiring to reserve their seats may do so by ringing up ’phone 160 any time up to 7.30 p.m. this evening;

MAK.Y CARR IN “SILVER, WINGS.”

What is universally acknowledged as one of the greatest picture productions of the year will be screened; at the Empress Theatre on Thursday and Friday next, the 6th and 7th inst., when William Fox will offer liis great and glorious screen epic, “Silver Wings.” Picture patrons will ever remember the little mother of “Over the Hill,” and the marvellous life portrayal of this consumate actress, but it may be safely said that in “Silver Wings,” .Miss Carr achieves the crowning triumph of her career. The management announce that despite the added cost of presentation, the ordinary prices will prevail, consequently it is hoped that' the public will show their appreciation >i the innovation by a bumper house. A special matinee for the school' children is, being arranged for Friday afternoon at 3.15 p.m., when the admission will be as usual, namely 6d each. Hie box plan will be open on Monday morn mg at McColl’s, stationer’s, and after hours at'the theatre, ’phone 160.
