THE EMPIRE.

BESSIE BARRISCALE IN A SUPERB "TRIANGLE" FEATURE. "JEALOUSY"; OR "THE GfiEEN SWAMP." A stor> of matrimonial misunderstanding brought about by- ''the greeneyed monster," jealousy, is the latest Triangle play to head the bill at the Empire to-night. Beautiful Bessie Barriscale, whose acting in "The Golden Claw" anil '.'Bullets, and Brown Eyes" lias made her such a favorite with pic-ture-lovers, is the woman who has a passion for suspecting her husband and who therelby nearly brings herself lifelong misery. During an interval in the production of "The Green Swamp," Miss Barriseale said to an interviewer: "I am getting more and more concernei' about the story that is to be. told and the story's message. As far as lam concerned, 1 want my plays to say something to men and. women. I want them to count as an influence in other lives. To me there is a great responsibility in the making of a photo-play. The good picture reaches an -".uilience of millions. It ought to carry a great message of thought and helpfulness when it does that. While 1 was creating the woman in 'The Green Swamp,' 1 never forgot that jealousy is something vicious, even when it was natural. The public has had enough of young love, dressing up in curly-curls, and now demands the story with the punch and the actor Who can deliver it."
