SHANGHAI.
Shanghai is in, many ways a replica of Paris, for it has all the brilliancy and revelry of the “gayest city,” has its strong flavour of romance, and its distinct sets and sections of society. In other measures of up-to-dateness it eclinses many of the famous cities of the world, and is one of the strongest outposts of the • British Empire. “ Crooked Streets,” in which Ethel Clayton stars at O’Brien’s Empire to-day, is a story of ijs underworld, its smugglers, and those men who are always watching,, recording, and safeguarding the British Secret Service. It is told in' a swift and exciting fashion, and is alive with the lure and colour of the Orient. At the early sessions the popular Robert Warwick will be screened in Somerset Maughan’s clever comedy romance, “Jack Straw.” The overture is from “San Toy.” .
