THE EMPIRE.
DAINTY MARGUERITE CLARK IN ' "STILL WATERS."
Kiddishly, bubblingly and spontaneously does Marguerite Clark enter into the spirit of a trifle, "Still Waters" — even as Miss Pickford mit&phorically yawns in the biggest 'of serious vSntures. "Still Waters" is the impossible story of a choleric canal boat captain and his daughter, and her daughter. His daughter runs away to the circus, and is disowned. Her baby's cradle is a trunk; the trunk snaps shut under the paws of a jeajous puppy, is carted off as baggage, fails into the canal, and is rescued, Rockabyebaby and all, by father and grandpa. The little «girl grows up, is carried into a circus by a runaway horse, meets her mamma—and of course everything is just perfectly lovely. This little .npidonveb story is just five reels of quaint unreality, but the gayety, brightness and childishness of ! Miss Clark, and the really wonderful photography in illmost every scene make the spectator en'joy it from start to finish. Sometimes it's lots of fun to be thoroughly, genially implausible. Marguerite will delight Empire patrons to-night and tomorrow night only.
