EMPIRE
The name of tho world-famous Mae West should in itself be sufficient attraction to draw audiences, but coupled with a story of such outstanding merit _as that of ‘ Klondike Annie,’ it is little wonder that this film is having such a popular season at tho Empire this week. No one other than a superb actress could make convincing the amazing characters in which Mae West specialises—and in which she exploits the manners and costumes of tho ’nineties for the entertainment of tho present generation—but the response of filmgocrs the world oyer to her first pictures left no doubt' that Miss West had hit upon a gold mine when she created a modern version of tire alluring ladies of New York’s golden age. In ‘ Klondyko Annie ’ tho scene changes to San Francisco and Alaska, but for all that tho spirit of the gay ’nineties is preserved intact. Victor M'Laglen heads the supporting cast.
