EMPIRE TO-NIGHT

-“CIllI/HREN OP BUST”

In “Children of Dust,” l 1 rank Bqrzage has come nearer to equalling his immortal picture, “Humoresque” than in any subject since that memorable screen classic. “Children of Dust,” with its living characters, is truly a page from the book of life. It is a human story of real people. The story is of Tcvwilliger and the lad’s love for Helen Livermore* a wealthy girl. He has a rival, Harvey Raymond, another wealthy child. Uhl Archer, caretaker of a N ew, \ ork estate, plays an important part in the rorhance. While the story opens with several childhood incidents, which have a vital bearing on the tale, most of the action takes place twelve years nucr. In the sacrifices for love, and in the romance, Borzage mirrors the very essence of life. The picture throbs with action, comedy and tho wist fulness of human incidents which make life worth while. Rov7.n.(?f» has instilled into C hildren of Dust,” which is a First National picture all of the pathos, humour, and romance, of “Humoresque in gieatei measure. An evening of perfect entci - tainment is assured. Jonnny vValKer is well cast as Terwilliger, while Paulino Garon and Lloyd Hughes live their respective parts as Helen Livermore and •Harvey Raymond. Bert Woodruff is superb av Old Archer, and Frankie Lee, Josephine Adair, and Jiewton Hail splendidly portrav the leading characters as children. Topical Budget Travelogue. Buster Keaton Comedy.
