THE EMPIRE.

MARY PICKFORD IN "THE ETERNAL GRIND." That trie popular Empire Theatre will he filled to-night may be taken for granted, for the attraction advertised is Mary Pickford, undeniably the most popular screen actress living, in her latest and what has been rirtieised as one other greatest) dramatic successes, "The j Eternal Grind," in five acts. At Weilington quite recently this picture filled the theatre at which it was exhibited to overflowing, and as "Bonnie Marj;" has hosts of admirers in New Plymouth, her welcome to-night is sure to be a warm one. "The Eternal Grind" is described as "a/human play of real power.'' . It' is a story of life in a sweater's factory, where the girls are overworked and . underpaid,, yet, it is stated, that even in this atmosphere Mary Pickford contrives to work in in her own inimitable way those ■flashes of quaint humor that she has made peculiarly her own. "Tlfe Internal Grind," in relating the narrative of three sisters,'-two of them taking the smooth road while the other (Mary Pickford) sticks to the more honorable but harder pathway 'through life, is credited with pointing an excellent .i moral. A specially selected coterie v ot'; c films will worthily support the "star,'" | and a picture treat much above the aver- § age may be- confidently anticipated.
