EMPIRE THEATRE—“IRISH
HEARTS”
Here at last is a comedy which does not caricature, but characterises. Here are the Irish as they are. Alav McAvoy lias never appeared so altogether adorable, and that is saying a great deal. She is remembered in “Sentimental Tommy” and “The Enchanted Cottage” and “Lady Windermere’s Fan,” and many others. Her portrayals are always like cameos. But as Patsy Shannon—tlie colleen who leaves Ireland to find her lover Emmett, in An erica, and instead find hard work, sorrow, struggle, and to counteract all the bad luck (which came about by loss of a shamrock brooch) —Timmie O’Shay—she is irresistible. Jason Robards plays .the role of Tim, and Warner Richmond tlie unfaithful Emmett. A big selection of supporting features will also be screened. Brices as usual. Plans at Cull’s and tlie Theatre.
