PERMANENT PICTURES.

• v There was a lar^v audience at,the Empire Theatre last evening, when a Vitagraph drama, "1 :e Battle of the Weak" was the star 1 ature. To-night there will.be a complete change of programme, including two star pictures f great contrast. One is an Oriental tragedy, "Tho Geisha." This is the story of two American officers and Myo, a pretty Geisha ; :rl. It is an epitome of a period of t 'ie highest danger and a wonderful do o, and, as in most of these Eastern Tories, an aii^of tragic interest hangs -.ver the whole plot. "The New Yoi-L r-rl" is a big Keystone success, featuring Mabel Normand—two reels of animated laughter. Mabel leaves New York and resides at a bush inn, leaving her intended lamenting. Mabel's adventures bring tears of joy to the eyes. , The supporting programme includes a Vitagraph drama, "The Crime of Cain,"' several amusing comedies, and the la - est Topical Ihidget. To-morrow night a film of special "interest to tennis players will be screened, namely, a reproduction of the Davis Cup.match. ■Takalva will be visited to-night. .-•-:
