THE EMPIRE. JUKE' CAPRICE IX "EVERY' GIRL'S'. .DREAM. The six reels of beautiful I r ox photoplay that arc ran oli' tocgther under, tha Leading of "Every Uirl's Dream," at the Empire Theatre, are strangely interesting. ''Every (lid's Dream" is, in one sense, nothing but a dream, hut as an appealing picture-play it is more than merely a, vision within reality, it is a fairy romance that interrupts a real one. June Caprice, dainty actress, whoso charm 19 known all over screen--dom, 13 the pretty heroine- of this film, for it is she who is the sweetheart of an honest countryman in the opening scenes, and who falls asleep to liva through a dream that is surpassingly beautiful, though it is a little too good i.o be real. The dream is quite in order as the typical illusion of a healthy young girl, for it compasses an ideal husband, wealth and beauty, luxury and ease, and an after life spent amid gay scenes. A real fairy prospect, even though it could scarcely be true. But it all whiles away the time in truly a human way. There is beauty, and a sort of allegorical truth, with a strong element of appeal all the time. June Caprice has always inada a great success of her screen roles, but in this part she is specially good. The Jiaby Oretchsn ia the central pivot of the tale. She grows up under tho dominion of a shrew, but she gets away from her and, Jjy dream of course, takes part in all the fairy events of tho story. It would be hard to find a more appropriate setting than the producers have made for this fairy tale, for tho quaint and peaceful atmosphere of old Holland has been used to envelop the scenes. There, is a dog in the story too, that does all sorts of novel things to help his mistress. Gretchen is first seen as a baby, and the tale follows much of her growing girlhood.
