"OUR DAREDEVIL CHIEF." At the Empire Theatre to-night the lrst screening takes place of "Our Daredevil Chief," described a? the best Keystone comedy for a considerable lime. The inimitable screen policeman. Ford Stirling, is cast as the Chief of Police, and is credited with making ithe hit of his career. It is claimed that not only is this eoinedv one of the best Utu<;h provocations ever .submitted, but the wonderfully funny incidental fooling embodies an unusual number of original mid unhackneyed ideas. "Our Daredevil Chief" was very successful at Auckland and Wellington. The star drirna of the list, "The Life Line," is said to be a particularly powerful and thrilling play from the famous Lubin studios, and in it Arthur V. Johnston will be seen to advantage. Another dramatic offering; possessing an appealing story, the action of which is divided between Italy and America, is "Haunting Memories." "An Actor's Boardinghouse" (comic), and the latest number of the Topical Gazette make up an attractive list. Seats may be reserved at the Theatre.
