AT THE EMPIRE.

AGAIN TO-NIGHT. “TWO IN THE DARK.” A beautiful girl is madly in love with a man about whom the tentacles of suspicion squeeze tighter and tighter, until he is almost convinced himself that he committed a brutal murder. That is the situation in which Margot Grahame and Walter Abel find themselves in R.K.O. Radio’s nervetingling mystery drama, “ Two in the Dark,” which is to be screened finally at the Empire Theatre to-night. Margot, in the role of a destitute show girl, is drawn, first by sympathy and then by love, to an amnesia victim (played by Abel), and she fights to extract him from the ominous web of ugly circumstances. The baffling mystery, based on the original story by the distinguished author, Gelett Burgess, packs a thrill a minute on to the celluloid, and promises to puzzle the wiliest of amateur Sherjocks for its solution. Miss Grahame and Walter Abel are teamed together as a romantic team for the first time, although they played the two most romantic roles in “ The Three Musketeers.” The all star cast includes Wallace Ford, Gail Patrick, Alan Hale, Leslie Fenton, Eric Blore, Erin O’Brien-Moore, and Erik Rhodes.
