Scenic films ineVde "Woods and Lakes of Vinccnnes" i ml "Fete at Angkor." The balance o:' the programme is made up with high-class dramas and laughable comedies.

EMPIRE PICTURES. Lovers of an exciting film so'; in wild surroundings and embodying a spice of adventure, will find all they rewire in the new picture which was screened with the change of programme at the Empire Theatre last nip'it. The inevitable love-story is this time woven round the doings of a Nautcli girl and a naval officer, in itself rather an unusual combination, apart from the fact that the picture introduces a wild rush of Hirers which goes as near to actual tragedy as the limits of the film can touch. In addition. "The Girl and the Tiger," M the picture is called, gives a valuable insight into Indian life. The A.R Company has always been noted for dramas which grip, and their latest production, "His Secret," is no exception. It is a drama with a plot far too good to be appreciated unless it is actually seen. "A Plight Misunderstanding" _is an amusing comedy of errors which produce irresistible situations and many hilarious moments. Tn addition, there is a well-assorted supporting programme of the latest scenics, comedies and dramas. The whole selection will be repeated to-night and to-morrow night.
