EMPIRE
“MARE NOSTRUM” A screen production of real entertainment comes to the Empire Theatre to-night. It is a film version of Blasco Ibanez’s “Mare Nostrum,” made by Rex Ingram in France and Spain, featuring Alice Terry and Antonio Moreno. Lavishly mounted it has real drama and many startling incidents of spy intrigue supply a novel thrill to the romance of a beautiful Austrian secret service agent and the Spanish sea captain she is forced to tempt into the service of the Central Powers. It has been exceptionally well made and no expense has been spared to add the last touch of realism. This is illustrated in the fact that two oceangoing vessels were actually sunk in spectacular fashion for certain sequences of the picture. “Risky Business,” starring Vera Reynolds, is the second feature on the programme to-night at the Empire Theatre.
