EMPRESS, NEWTON
Cecil B. De Mille, who has been taking his own time about entering the talking picture field, again proves his right to be ranked with the outstanding motion picture personalities with the super-production, “Dynamite,” now at the Empress Theatre. Newton. Created by De Mille from a story by his ace scenarist, Jeanie MacPlierson, “Dynamite” is replete with thrills, humour, society settings, and grim dramatic situations. It seems that its veteran director has overlooked nothing that might make the photoplay one of the great pictures of the present era. Not since “Male and Female” has De Mille contrived settings so daring, picturesque and brilliant in background as the ones for “Dynamite,” and never, perhaps, has he had the advantage of such a rapidly- pax>.d dramatically-sound plot. Every episode of the 12 reels of “Dynamite” leads rapidly and smoothly ti the next. There are no loose ends, and the audience is continually waiting breathlessly to see what will happen next.
