EMPIRE THEATRE.

"MICKEY."

It is said that there is material enough in "Mickey." Mack Sennett's superpicture with the inimitable Maibel Normand in the title role, which is to be shown at the Empire Theatre to-night, to supply half a dozen ordinary scenarios with incidents and situations. The play is out of the common, with the star part of Mickey specially written for Mabel Normand. The action abounds with sensational thrills, which include a race between a railroad express and a motor car, a fight in a garret, Mickey's ride for love and life in the Northern Cup, and her swimming stunts ; The eight reels are photographed with a degree of realism that it would be impossible to obtain on the speaking stage. The box plan is at the Empire," and there are a few seats still available for to-night. An added attraction will bq the 12th Regiment contest band, which will play selections outside the theatre.
