ENTERTAINMENTS.

■TACK WARREN KERRIGAN AND DOROTHY DALTON AT THE EMPIRE

The now programme at the Empire tonight will include two popular artists in two popular picture successes. Handsome Jack Warren Kerrigan will star in the Blue-bird feature "The Gay Lord Waring;" and Dorothy Dalton in a Triangle rfiasterpla'y, "The Dark Road.'' "The Gay Lord Waring" is a delightful story of a spendthrift earl, whose loves and finances become so mixed as to cause the to follow his career with tense feelings to its delightful finish. 'The Dark Road" is a picture of unusual dramatic power. The convincing plot of the drama is wholly enthralling, and the track towards the complete downfall of the utterly heartless, wanton woman therein depicted 'makes for a terrible idea of merciless justice. There is a real riot of emotion here. The introduction into the story of the mystic element, and a weird belief in reincarnation, adds a very great degree of interest.

CARLYLE BLACICWELL AND JUNE ELVIDGE IN "THE PAGE MYSTERY," AT EVERYBODY'S.

A genuine story is screened in "The Page Mystery," the World film drama screened to crowded houses at Everybody's on Saturday. The cast includes Carlyle Blackwell, June Elvidge and Arthur Ashley, the latter in the role which he plays so well, of a dissolute wastrel. The mystery element develops quickly. The hero comes upon a beautiful yourig girl, who is just about to take her life She refuses to divulge her identity. Then he discovers in the lodge where the party is staying a secret bedroom. The final problem is the authorship of the strange death of Colonel Page. Many of the scenes are taken in the Adirondaefl Mountains. The final scene is one of the most powerful in all film drama, and its climax could really be said to be overwhelming. The first instalment, of "The Iron Claw," a continued photoplay, is also included in this programme, which shows for the last time to-night. TO-MORROW.

The special attraction for to-morrow and Wednesday is "The Diamond Run,ners," starring Helen Holmes. This picture was advertised some weeks ago, but went astray in transit.
