HAYWARD'S PICTURES.

"Alimony," the principal picture on the^rogrammo at the Empire Theatre deals with practices that have grown up round the divorce courts in great modern cities, and is a pointed , lesson on the results of making divorce too "free and easy." A society beauty who regards her husband simply as a banker, gets rid of him, but finds that the young clubman on _ whom her hopes' were centred, is too wise to cast in his lot with her. He falls in love with a sweet and innocent girl, and the thwarted woman sets about a plan of revenge So ingenious is this, and so complete is the plan for dividing the young couple, that it seems quite hopeless for things ever to right themselves. There are also some other very interesting pic-r-tures !n support. ,
