THE EMPIRE.
LAST NIGHT OP "THE MICROSCOPIC MYSTERY" AND %'LOIUA NO. 5." A big audience was attracted by the very excellent change of programme at the Empire last night. The gazette of topical film-paragraphs was, as usual, most interesting, and the Triangle Fine Arts success, "The Microscopic Mvstory,' full of stirring incident, and with. 11 pleasing love story running through it was followed with the keenest interest. Tiie motion pictures of minute insects and of bacilli cultures are wonderfully well photographed, and admirably screened. Ono has to see them to believe that such things are possible; and the skilful manner in which an innocent girl is saved from a charge of murder by tho means of the microscope is not only very thriling as drama, but. a liberal education from the scientific point of view. Last, but not. least, the charm, the beauty, and tho very fine acting of Miss Billy Burke, in chapter V.—''The Gathering Storm"—of ''Gloria's _ Romance," greatly delighted the audience. Each chapter is. a story in itself, and all go to build up a play replete with stirring incident and by no means lacking in romantic interest. Tonight will be the final screening of this attractive selection.
