THE EMPIRE.

LAST SCREENING OF " THE HEART OF NORA FLYNN." The delightful Lasky feature, "The Heart of Nora Flynn," was screened for the first time last night to a well-filled theatre. The splendid portrayal of the part of Nora Fiynn by Miss Marie Doro won her a warm place in the hearts of last night's audience, and this beautiful little lady will bo very welcome to pic-ture-goers in any future Lasky releases. Tlie arrival of several other big features for this and next week make it impossible to show this picture after to-night. TO-MORROW AND SATURDAY. Commencing to-morrow night, Douglas Fairbanks and Jewel Carmen will be introduced to Empire Theatre patrons in the greatest comedy success that lias ever been seen in the Dominion, entitled "Manhattan Madness." The picture is the presentation in real life of one of 0. Henry's 'humorous stories. It is a story of queer thrills and unusual happening's resulting out of a bet by Fairbanks (who comes East from the cattle ranch) with his city friends, that they could not find him a real thrill'in the whole of New York. . His friends arrange to give him more excitement than he has bargained for, but he retaliates by giving them one of the biggest and most unexpected jolts of their collective life. "Manhattan Madness" will bo screened on Friday night, at the matinee on Saturday, and for the last time on Saturday night.
