ENTERTAINMENTS.

SPECIAL) HOLIDAY PROGRAMME. When "The Great Night," a William Fox photoplay starring William Russell, comes to the Empire Theatre on Monday night next the patrons of the theatre will see Russell at his best, according to advance reports. The story written by Joseph F. Poland gives Russell all the opportunities he could desire to display his histrionic ability. In this picture Russell is cast as the son of a millionaire jeweller. His father dies, and according to the terms of the will the young man must marry within a month. Desiring to escape the numerous offers of matrimony which follow the announcement of the contents of the will, the heir seeks out his friend the police commissioner and obtains employment as a patrolman. Russell is rapidly leaving behind the western pictures in which he was formerly featured, and is fast becoming familiarly identified with the modern type of story. THE WILD GIRL. In America Eva Tanguay is known as the highest salaried vaudeville artist in the world. Eva has not yet. made her appearance in this country, and consequently we have no means of judging if she is worth her fabulous salary. Her gorgeous dressing in her Selznick film, "The Wild Girl," in which she makes her screen debut, is remindful of the famous Gaby Deslys. Tom Moore and Stuart Holmes are the principal male attractions in support of Miss Tanguay. "THE DELICIOUS LITTLE DEVIL." Suppose you valued your reputation more than anything in the world, but in order to get a good job had to masquerade as a notorious cabaret dancer who had been involved in a sensational scandal in Paris. What would you do? This was the situation Mary McGuire found herself in and how she met the situation is worked out in an exceptionally interesting manner in "The Delicious Little Devil," which will be screened at the Empire Theatre on Wednesday night next. Mae Murray plays the stellar role and does unusually fine work. She is supported by an excellent cast including the popular young actor Rudolph Valentino. You will regret missing this picture. Don't fail to see it on Wednesday night and learn how Mary met her problem.
