EMPIRE THEATRE. The new programme at this theatre tonight will be headed by what is described as a great Vitagraph moral play, entitled "A Million Bid," which had a successful run for 25A nights on Broadway. The drama deals with the desperate efforts of a proud society woman to secure a wealthy match for her daughter and has been described as a most powerful play of contemporary society. The scenes include a collision between a millionaire's yacht and another vessel in mid-ocean, and this exciting portion of the picture drama is said to have been managed for the film in the very best style by the Vitagraph Company, which has previously photographed big undertakings of the kind very successfully. The leading parts arc acted by Miss lAnita Stewart, Miss Julia Swayne and Messrs Charles Kent, Harry Morey and E. K. Lincoln. The supporting items on the programme will include: "September Morn," a dashing comedy; "Gaumont Graphic," topical; and '"Hie Temples of Nikko," showing some beautiful Japanese scenery. Musical accompaniments will be rendered by Mrs. George.
