EMPRESS THEATRE.

Messrs. Warner Brothers, producers, are offering at the Empress Theatre this week an admirable screen classic from their studios. Lovers' of the big out-doors, with snow and majestic pines to add realism to the sense of magnitude, I ■will find "Where the- North Begins" mUch til their liking. : Shad. Galloway (played by Pat Hartigan), the bullyingfactor of a Hudson Bay. Trading post, loves Felice M'Tavish (Claire v Adams, an intrepid horseNvoman and one of the most charming actresses of the screen) in his own .aggressive,' tyrannical .way, j but she in turn is'beloved, of Oabriei ' Dupre, a stalwart French-Canadian (played by Walter M'Grail). Shad attacks. Gabriel and leaves him. for dead; | wolves appear, but one of them turns | out to be a dog, which saves him from ; the pack. Later he saves the girl from ; the attentions of Shad, and becomes idolised by his mistress and her man. , Rin-tin-tin, the famous Belgian police \ dog; is featured; he is a canine wonder, ' displaying almost' human intelligence ; and intuition in siding with righl against ■ -wrong. The settings provide scenes that: will remain long in memory. Also, on; the' bill is a British topical budget,; while NeaJ Burns, the Christio comedy . expert, frivols merrily through" "Bo Yourself." ■ The success last week .of Phyllis and Sammy Cope is being repeated this, week, for they^ are piovid- j ing another jazz interlude in connection with the new bill. They submitted tha duet, "You've. Gplj to See Baby. Every Night," a- xylophone solo "Blaze. Away," a whistle solo '-'0 Sole Mio,"^ and: a drum . solo "Georgia." Mr. M. Dixon's orchestra is heard in the; "Merry Wives of Windsor" overture and catchy incidental music.
