KM I»IIIESS TNEATIiE. A IWTHECOLOUR DRAMATIC GEM. There is no subject more suitable to a presentation in colour than the Orient, with nf.s vivid backgrounds, mellowed buildings, and brightly lined robes. In the first all-coloMrod production since the great war, Rathe Freres have given us an exquisite drama in "Love in a. Harem," a seven-act wonder picture which will have its first screening here at whe Empress fo.r a two-nights' season. Silver mosques and minarets are silhouetted against azure skies, and gorgeous palaces cast an irresistible spell. All these beautiful settings have been brought to bear on a drama that is a,n entertainment alone in itself and fells a fascinating story from the -Arabian Nights. NEW YEAirS NIGHT. The William HW special attraction, "A Man's Mate," with John Gilbert! as the star, will be the piece ance on a first-class pictorial bill ot faro for this particwlar night only. It is it thriving drama, of the Pans underworld convincingly told by a great! supporting cast. A screamingly funny comedy. "The Orphan." with the irresistible Clyde Cook as the chief funmaker, is another item well worthy of special mention, FRIDAY NIGHT ONLY. Marie Provost, the delectable actress will be seen in a fasti moving story of New York high society life. Universal can always be depended upon for an entertaining programme, and in "Her Night of Nights," Miss Provost has a vehicle that can be glassed as top notch.
