THE EMPIRE. “ONCE TO EVERYWGMAN.” To-night will see the final screening of the superb “Jewel” special feature, “Once to Everywoman,” at the Empire Theatre. It is a picture that bares with a burning intensity of emotion the souls of two women. It is great because it makes vivid on the screen the innermost feelings of a woman to whom ambition was a god until events proved it an idol of clay. It is tremendous because it pierces straight to the depth of a pure-gold heart —a mother heart—whose benign love spreads itself from the screen in a living stream of life that floods with responsive emotion the breast of every man, woman and child that sees it. Seats for the final screening to-night can now be reserved at Collier’s.
