THE EMPIRE.

DOUGLAS /FAUIBA*rX,S' AS ''THE CHUCKER-OUT," This is a time-honored profession, responsible for many ;l «ood athletic display and many a good 'bounce." Ifc ii doubtful, however, whether any professional chuckcr-out ever put quite so much vim into the fine points of the game aa Douglas Fairbanks, as the expert for Gallagher's Saloon in "Reggie Mixes In." The film is a gracious little love story, relieved by a perfectly marvellous collection of Douglas Fafrbanks' athletic stunts. There are no half measures about the terrific concluding fight in which Reggie wins the girl, although before actually collecting her, as it were, he spends an interim period in the hospital. This fine picture will be shown again for the last time to-night. Also on the same programme for final screening is Billie Burke in the second chapter of "Gloria's Romance." entitled "Caught by the Seminolos." This episode snows Miss Billie in many amazing adventures in the forests of Florida, and incidentally, many new phases of her physical charms. Mystery, thril]s, suspicion, intrigue, are all mingled in a wonderful'fashion in thii novel story which has been produced without consideration of cost, and provides something exceptional in photographic art. ; For to-,morrow'night the management promise the first of the famous "BineBird" photoplays entitled "The Crippled Hand," in which are featured Robt. Leonard and Ella Hall who were starred in "The Master Key."
