ENTERTAINMENTS

EMPIRE THEATRE

Owing to the great length of “Flesh and the Devil” and “East Side, West Side” it is impossible to show the two pictures in one night. Therefore “Flesh and the Devil” will be shown to-night' only and “East Side, West Side” tomorrow only with Chapter 5 of “The Collegians” both nights. Greta Garbo, famous Swedish screen beauty, has her greatest emotional role as the unfaithful wife in “Flesh and the Devil.” As John Gilbert plays opposite Greta Garbo, and Lars Hanson is the ‘other man’ of the triangle, picture.-goers can imagine vvliat great drama this unusual picture holds in store for them.. It is a powerful story of European life prior to the World War, and depicts the overwhelming love storm that involved a beautiful woman and two young men. The vagaries of human nature have never been so graphically portrayed on the screen before. The picture has been wonderfully directed by Clarence Brown, and includes many ' well-known featured players. Plans are at Cull’s and the Theatre.

REGENT “The North Star,” featuring the wonder dog “Strongheart” will be screened to-night. To-morrow night opens the season of “Camille”. The star is not the only one in “Camille” who wears dazzling clothes. Special wardrobes also wore assembled for several of the supporting players, including Lifyan Tashman, who portrays “OlVinpe,” and Rose Dione, cast in tile important role of “Prudence.” “Camille” was produced on a more lavish scale than any feature launched by Miss Talmadge. Joseph M. Selienck, who produced the feature for First National, and Director Fred Niblo believe tlmt “Camille” will prove to be Norma’s most popular picture, surpassing even her outstanding successes such as “Smilin’ Through” and “Kiki.” Among other members of the large supporting cast are Gilbert Roland, the new screen find, who plays “Armand;” and Alec Francis, the famous character actor.
