EMPRESS THEATRE
TO-NIGHT AND FRIDAY. A double feature programme is being screened at the Empress Theatre to-night and Friday. "The Sport of Kings" is a clever farce comedy, the tale of a sanctimonious hater of betting, who falls into sin owing to the wiles of a couple of society pundits who excite his pronounced cupidity. Included in the caste are Leslie Henson, Gordon Harker, Hugh Wakesfield, nad Dorothy Boyd. The story of "Heaven on Earth" is a drama of Mississippi life, and presents Lew Ayres as the supposed son of a steamboat captain. When he finally learns that his parents were really "poor white trash" in the nearby village of "shanty-boaters," he returns to his own people and becomes the centre of an absorbingly interesting series of events, culminating in a raging flood on the Mississippi. Anita Louise plays opposite him.
