THE EMPIRE.
ALICE JOYCE IN "THE COURAGE OF SILENCE."
The tender beauty of 'Alice Joyce has long been missing from the world of the screen, and her re-appearance will be welcomed by all lovers of good acting. In "The Courage of Silence," showing for the first time at the Empire to-night, she makes a triumphant re-entry upon the film stage, and she is seen in a role which emphasises and gives opportunity for her great abilities. In the first part of the story she is a delightful and careless butterfly, with no thought but that of conquest. Slio plays with supreme pathos and emoitional strength. The Greater Vitagraph cast is an extremely strong one, Harry 'Horey heading the great star's supports. Special mention must also be made of Mildred May and Willie Johnston, two delightful screen children, and Clio Ayres who plays the Morcy, The drama is a powerful one, dealing with the theme of the infatuation or a r,o-far happily man-id man for - brilliant bounty. It is treated in a fresh and original way, with perfect setting. This iine picture will be shdwn to-night and Saturday only.
TO-MORROW. Owing to the Pierotts' concert at Everybody's to-morrow the Fox feature "Merely Mary Ann" will be tranUfSred to tlio Empire for Friday only. Everybody's orchestra will supply the musical programme ior this picture. ' si •
