THE EMPIRE.
A REAL BREATH OF OLD IRELAND. ''THE MARRIAGES OF MOLLY-O," A real Irish fair is one of the features of "The Marriage of Molly-o," to be screened for the first time at the Empire to-night. Mae Marsh as the heroine is tlie real thing in colleens and is full of quaint charm and pretty ways. The scene in which she is beaten for .first prize with "the foincst pig in Oiild Ireland" is packed with Irish blarney and good temper. Robert Harron is a man and likable hero, and he puts up a fistic surprise in his tremendous tussle witn James O'Shea who plays the villain. There is a pretty interweaving of a fairy story which selves in a measure to explain the main plot, and the story ends very prettily. The photography is tlie finest example of the Triangle stiidio art yet produced, and the producer has sprung some new surprises in the way of clfects. Most of the players in "The Marriage of Molly-o" were Irish themselves, and the Irish atmosphere with which the play is invested has been carried out with loving care. "The Marriage of Molly-o" will only be shown to-night and to-morrow.
