This is described as an elaborately-staged production of unusual SHORTTS' PICTURES. The programme which is atpresent interesting patrons of Shortts* Theatre wall meet the approval of the most critical of picture-goers. The star item, "The Ancient Bow," is well worth seeing, and as a Western drama has preat merit. "A Juvenile Love' Affair" is a veiy pretty story of a child's affection, and is wonderfully well acted. On Monday, besides the regular change, "Tho God ,of the Sun,'' a finely-coloured Pathe film. will, be screened. As it will be circulated to theatres supplied by Harvard's Enterprise it will not be screened for many nights. . EMPRESS THEATRE. The A.B. drama, "The Chief's Blanket," screened as one of the leading items on tho new programme at the Empress Theatre yesterday and, last evening, ,is a capital Western story of adventure. The photography is good as well as the acting, and a combination of the two ,make 3 the picture a high-class one. The. Edison drama, "In His Father's Steps," is a well sustained kxvo story, and tells how a young man sets out to win the love of his lady by his own work. His chance comes,, and, buoyed up with tho hope of success, he goes home to tell his parents of the great tidings and of his ambitious hopes. At homo .he finds out that Ms father's earnest wish is that he shall take up his work. This means giving'tup his lady-love, but to please his aged father he determines to bury his hopes and be a dutiable son. But love wins the day. His lady-love learns of his sacrifice, comes to his home, and they give up the ambitious thoughts and settle down to "love in a cottage." "Peter Pickle's Wedding" is a really good comedy. The antics of Peter when he goes a-wooing are ludicrous, and when he eventually discovers that, instead of "the daughter of the house," he has married tho servant girl his consternation is supreme. However, as a last revenge, he makes tho best of a bad job, and, with a wiry smile, pretends that 'Ire is suited as he would wish. Tho rest of the items are either amusing, interesting, or sensational, and. complete a very thorough .programme, which will bo screened again to-day and to-night. PEOPLE'S PICTURE PALACE.
