ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE EMPIRE. VIOLA DANA IN "A WEAVER, OF DREAMS." This is a really delightful picture drama and charmed the audience at the Empire, where it was presented for the first time last night. "Weaver of Dreams" is one of those quaint, exquisite stories in which adorable Viola Dana excels. It i 3 a drama of human hearts. Miss Dana plays Judith, who becomes engaged to young Dr. Keith. Together the two young people watch the building of their future home, "The House of Hearts," and the sentimental, lovable musician, "the ■ weaver of dreams," watches them. Then comes Margery, who is frivolous and affected, two things which Judith, in her true, steady love for Keith, has forgotten how to be. Keith is drawn to her, he is fascinated. The time comes when Judith sees a caress that makes her blood run cold. How does she meet the situation? This is a question that is answered in a human way that will go straight to the heart of the spectators of this beautiful photodrama. There are excellent supports including the last epi.sodo but one of the popular Mutual serial "A Lass of the Lumberlands." Tho same programme screens again tonight, and at both sessions to-morrow.
