1 There will be a change of programme at the Empire Theatre to-day. Viola Dana, 1 tho Metro star, is said to come into her own as the greatest of modern screen artiste in the part of "June" in "Blue 0 Jeans." While 3Vlis3 Dana is known and ; her work is appreciated by hundreds of i- thousands of motion picture theatre patrons, e none of the vehicles in which she has ap--1 pcared in heretoforo has given her the h opportunity to show her real class as does "Bluo Jeans." Some of the big seenea 0 occur in an old-fashioned sawmill. TWso tl scenes were taken at Raslyn, I-ong Island. I- This mill, built in 1869, is still in use by s the original owners. Powerful lights were •r installed at the mill for the nhotographin" :1 of the tense scenes staged there. The cii" cular paw, 4Aft in diameter, which has done service six days a week for over two-score yoars, was used in tho great rescue scone. In the story Miss Dana has been locked iii the office bv the villain, Ben Boone (Clifford Bruce). Through tho glass door she sees Boono and her sweetheart. Perry Ih s . d com (Robert Walker), fighting in the mill ry Boono places_ Baseom on the log carnage d and leaves him to his fato. Breaking the ie glass door, June rushes in and drags Bmp. com from the cirriaee before it readies the h 0 trcachcrous 'teeth. .
