ENTERTAINMENTS.
THE EMPIRE THEATRE. The chief attraction at the Empire Theatre is "Tess of the Storm Country," a strong emotional drama, and the principal character is played by Mary Pickford, who is described as America's greatest emotional acrtcss. The story is that of the daughter of an ignorant fisherman or "squatter" on the, shore of Caynga Lake. The squatters are heartily detested by the plutocrats of the place, who does everything possible to drive them away, finally employing gamekeepers to prevent them fishing. A gamekeeper is shot, and a whole host of complications arise, affording Mary Pickford great scope for her acting. The film fills in the greater part of the evening, and as it is full of interest this is rather an advantage. The supporting pictures are all good, and include, "A Midsummer Love. Tangle," which is screamingly funny. The programme will be shown finally to-night.
