EMPRESS, NEWTON
This evening sees the last showing at the Empress Theatre of Cecil B. De Mille’s first all-talking picture, Dynamite.” Based on an incident in a story by Jeanie MacPherson, the plot is replete with rapid action. The story opens when a condemned man is married in his death-cell seven hours before sentence is to be executed. The unusual ingredients of the plot are added to by the strange complications that ensue when the murderer is given a last-minute reprieve. The scenes change rapidly from the tower of a New York skyscraper to the lawn of a country’’ club, from the luxurious home of the heroine to the depths of a coalmine where her fiance works. Conrad Nagel, Kay Johnson, Charles Bickford and Julia Faye play the leading roles.
