ENTERTAINMENTS.

EMPIRE PICTURES. " LliS MISER AI3LES." i .Messrs. Pathe 'Freres have produced many wonderful pictures, but not one approaches in masterful and artistic rendering their adaptation of Victor Hugo's '•|,es Miscrablcs," which starts its Xew Plymouth season to-night at the Empire. It comes heralded by a reputation such as no picture has'yet attained, gained in not one country onlv, but ill every country in Europe. 'Never ha» the popular verdict been more emphatic. The film has everywhere filled picture theatres to overflowing, and that the Xew Plymouth public will endorse the verdict admits of little douht. Almost everyone lias read "Les Miserables," which is universally admitted to be the greatest epic and dramatic work of fiction ever achieved. It ia {lie epic of a soul transfigured and redeemed, purified by heroism and glorified through sull'ering. It portrays tToth the tragedy and comedy of life at their darkest,"ami of humanity at its best ami worst. The story loses nothing by its transfer to the picture-screen.
