THE EMPIRE.
LOUISE GLAUM, THE TRIANLE VAMPIRE IN '-HONOR THY NAME." Bernard Shaw is reported to have said the "the danger of the cinema is not the danger of immorality but the danger of morality; people who, like myself," he said, "frequent the cinemas testify to their desolating romantic morality." While everyone may not agree with this Shavian view, most people will readil) admit that in the pictures wrong-doing invariably meets with the punishment it merits. In "Honor Thy Name," a Triangle play commencing a three-night season at the Empire tonight, Louise Glaum takes the part of a disreputable woman, who inveigles a young man of good family into a dishonorable marriage. Prank Keenan, at the father, adopts a terrible, hut effective method of clearing the. family name. He takes the vampire for a drive in his carriage, and, thrashing the horses to a gallop, steers the team over a cliil to destruction. This picture, which is said to be one of the finest Triangle plays yet shown here, together with the pleasing array of additional subjects should be the means of attracting crowded houses to the theatre.
