EMPRESS THEATRE
"OLD ENGLISH." "Old English," with George Arliss, will be screened at the Empress tonight and on Wednesday. The story is from the play of the same name, by Sir John Galsworthy. The Galsworthy play, from which "Old English" rs adapted, is the story of a crochetty old ship-owning rascal of Liverpool, who finds himself on the verge of bankruptcy, and to provide for a grand-daughter enters into some dealings which would have incriminated him but for the intervention of a greater foe in »the guise of liberator. The gay old rake makes a grandstand play not only with his creditors but with death—and wins while he loses. Mi\ Arliss makes the role unbelievably moving and at the same time amusing. An excellent cast supports the star.
