ENTERTAINMENTS.

"STOLEN MOMENTS." TO BE SCREENED TO-NIGHT. Rodolph Valentino's rise to international fame as a film star has been the most meteoric on record, and in the role of the man who fascinates women as a class, he is without parallel. In "Stolen Moments," to be screened at the Empire Theatre tonight, he portrays a man who in pursuit .of his desires, spares no efforts and is careless of scruple. Opposite to him as his victim plays a new star of compelling beauty, Marguerite Namara. The confession of girlish love in indiscreet terms is written in the fly leaf of a book given to the heroine by the novelist, and it is with this as a weapon that the handsome scoundrel endeavours <to effect, his object. The costuming, the acting, and the elaborate settings, all conspire to make the play notable. FRANK MAYO IN "CAUGHT BLUFFING." SATURDAY NIGHT. The story of a gambler who always played fair, save upon . one occasion when a life was at stake, is being told on the screen at the Empire Theatre on Saturday afternoon and evening, whdre the Universal attraction, "Caught Bluffing." is the feature offering. Frank Mayo, the star, plays the part of the gambling house proprietor who tolerates no crooked play ,on the part of his "guests" and refuses to ailow jhis particular friends to "buck the house." A master of card trickery himself, he foils a dangerous gunman in his attempt to abduct a girl by offering to stack a fortune in gold against her in a hand of poker. He saves the girl and wins her love. Edna Murphy plays the feminine lead opposite Frank Mayo in a way that justifies her rapid rise to a conspicuous place in filmdom. The new serial, "The Social Buccaneer," promises to be one of the best yet shown here, and is said to be equal to the "Million Dollar Mystery."
