EMPRESS PICTURES
To-night's change of picture 3 will include "Escape of the White Glove Gang," a 8000 feet detective story. Detective Hecker succeeds in capturing all the gang except the lady secretary, Suzanne, and De Croze, the leader, who has escaped to the West Indies. The detective cannot discover any trace of the girl, but watch on the outgoing cables reveals a message to De Croze to change his route home. He finds Suzanne at Marseilles. She hires a motor boat and dashes out to meat a sailing vessel. Hecker follows and boarding the vessel calls the two criminals to surrender. De Crozj, rather than be taken alive, fires the vessel and while all else escapes he is left alone in the midst of the seething furnace. Thus perished the master hand of the notorious gang, whose deeds had been the talk of the Continent. The supporting pictures are the usual high class dramas and comedies, a brilliant vaudeville act, a charming animal study, and the Gaumont Graphic.
