THE EMPIRE.

MARQUERITE CLARK. IN "MTCE AND JIEN" o>' MONDAY NEXT Marguerite Clark is rumoured to have been ottered a. tempting financial inducement to return temporarily, at any rate, to the speaking .stage. "I miss musical comedy,;' she said to an interviewer. "I miss getting lovely lowers and bouquets every night. When I was with Do Wolf JJopper in 'Baby Mine' I got one bouquet every night l'rom the same person. You don't get bouquets at the studios." Miss Clark has made a close study of the art of Sarah Bernhardt. "I simply adore Sarah," she told the interviewer. "I am happy to say I have met her. She sent me a portrait of herself as L'Aiglon,' inscribed, 'A ma gentille camarade Marguerite Clark.'" Miss Clark in "Mice and Men" appears at the Etnpire next Mond'ay," Tuesday and Wednesday. This production is said to be the most entertaining of the many delightful plays she has been seen in since she joined the Famous Players Company.

MATINEE TO-DAY; AT 2 P.M. The laughable Triangle-Keystone comedy, "The Snow Cure," will be repeated at the matinee this afternoon, and again for the last time this evening. Supporting the stai comedy is an exceedingly interesting Western . drama, entitled "Red Stepliano," which will prove thoroughly entertaining for both children and adults. On Monday the management will present an entire change of programme, featuring the popular favorite, Marguerite Clark, in the Famous Players' latest big production, "Mice and Men."
