ENTERTAINMENTS.

EMPIRE PICTURES. To-niglit at the Empire a new programme will be screened, with a. big Edison special, "Where is My Wandering Boy To-nigilit?" as the chief attraction. This photo-play is based upon the at-one-lime immensely popular English ballad of the tame title. It is described as a film-drama of intense emotion and exceptional power. The principal character is played by that capable actor, Marc McDenr.ott. Those firm favorites, Mabel Norma-nd. "Fatty" Arbuclde and Ford ■Sterling, will create fun and laughter in "That little Gold Band,'' a society comedy. Other subjects listed are: "The Oirl on the Trestle," an exciting drama of railroad life: "The Reindeer'' (nature study), the latest Pathe Gazette, and "Suspioioiu Characters"' (Edison comedy). ROYAL IPICTURES. "The Brigand Millionaire," the Aijuilin. Company's elaborately mounted and powerful drama, is the main item in the new programme to bo presented this evening. Jt is something quite new in sensational films, for while it abounds in melodramatic thrills, it is at the same time an artistic and beautifully mounted picture. No finer photography lias been seen in any other production. The programme will also include, "By the Old .Dead Tree" (A.B. drama), "God's Own Country" (universal interest) and many others. Seats may be reserved at Hoffmann's.
