ENTERTAINMENTS.

EMPIRE PICTURES. Tlie feature film on the current pro- J gramme at the Empire Theatre is the ' Vitagraph Company's "David Garrick," I the story of how a great society woman fell in love with the famous actor, how | at the request of tlie father Garrick I took steps to disillusion her, but all to j no purpose, a happy marriage being tho end of it all. The subject has been i well handled by the Vitagraph Company, ! and tlie various subjects are produced with a fidelity to detail as regards the surroundings and the costumes of the period. A new idea in kinematography is explained in the farce-comedy, "A Study in Feet." The story is here told entirely by means of the feet and hands of the characters in the picture. The Kalem Company is represented on the bill by an exciting drama entitled "Flying Freight's Captive." The plot centres round a jewel robbery oil a train, the robbers being brought to justice by the efforts of a brave girl. ' The Keystone fat comedian, Tioscoe Arbuckle. is featured in the comedy, "Shotguns that Kick." In this picture i s seen some wonderful shooting of hats from one head to another. An excellent topical item is "Championship Sports of the Expeditionary Force at Trentham." The Patlie Gazette contains interesting views of the Allied forces at the front. There is abundant variety in the programme, which will be repeated finally this evening.
