At the Empire.
The coronation pictures at the
above theater attracted much atten.
ton last night It showed the beauti-
full pageant in its entirety. It's a film
that everyone should see.
The Heyman Sisters pleased, as
usual, in their song and dance turn.
The rest of the program was made up
.of films of lassooing wild animals and
comic subjects.
Change Of Bill at We Liberty.
A large and appreciative audience
attended We Liberty theater last night
tc witness the new program pre-
sented by Manager McGreer. The
Jourdane operate Quartet sang five
numbers all of which struck a popu-
lar chord. The "Miserere" was espe-
cially well rendered and the audience
indicated a desire for more.
The Dance of Death" by Miss
Daisy Dean was rather grewsome, but
was gracefully performed. This dance
is similar to "the Dance of the Seven
Wells" and is significant of a dance
performed for King Herod, in which
the head of John the Baptist is pre-
scented to the dancer as a reward
The Mortimers were pleasing, as
usual with late song hits Their sing
ing of aren't You the Girl I met at
Sherry's?" was exceptionally good
A thrilling cowboyIndian picture
was shown which at times nearly
brought the audience to it's feet.
This bill will continue the balance
of the week with a change next Mon
day.

was a girl were not functions as
they are now. There were bells and

homes. and occasionally a dance on a
warship when one of them happened
to be in port But they were not ire

would invite the young folks in for

guitar, violin or piano we would

seems about the time for society of
today to begin their dances.
