THE EMPIRE.
CARLYLE BLACKWELL AND ETHEL CLAYTON. The, labor laws, as they are called, of certain American States which permit ,the leasing of convicts form the basis of the original world play "Broken Chains" screening at the Empire to-night and tomorrow, Ethel Clayton is a lovable heroine, and paints the character of the girl who refuses to doubt her lover in face of the most terrible chain of circumstances with great power. Carlyle Blackwell, who is the young cavalry officer who finds himself a convict on the terrible charge of murders, is handsome and dashing as ever and withal, acts with great charm. The story is unique. The central incident is full of grim realism, and is most ingeniously contrived. A great deal of the camera work has been done out of doors and the play is full of beautiful scenes. The programme includes a very interesting Gaumont War Graphic.
