Partisan Girls Head Bill Of
Features on Empress Program

Fright back at you with an
other big, smashing hit" Is the
way Manager Bert &. Donnellan
of the Empress theater described
the new bill which will open at
the local Sullivan g. Considine
house Sunday afternoon. The
new bill will have for its head
line attraction. Beatrice Morelle
and her six Partisan Harmony
girls, declared by competent crit
ics to wear the most fetching
gowns displayed upon the EN-
press circuit this year. Musical
numbers of high degree of ex-
cellence are introduced in their
program.
One of the prettiest and home
like comedies to tour the s. e c.
circuit for many day Is "Spie-
gels Daughters Beau" which
will be the big added attraction
of the coming offering.
The greater part of the patrons
of the Empress will remember
with much pleasure the laughter
the appearance of Al. Herman,
black-face comedian, upon the
local stage a little less than one
year ago. So great was his popu-
larity that he has been booked for
a return engagement.
Mack Williams and Ida Segal,
the dainty dancing doll. will have
charge of the terpsichorean spe-
cialties on the new bill. The cos
tuning of both participants will
be a feature.
Something decidedly new In
tight-wire performing will be pre-
sented by the Ryan brothers.
They have invented some remark

fore one can have q happy
married life.
| have not found II so. We
were married six years ago
with nothing but a large
amount Of love. We have
gotten along fine, only it
took every bit of our love at
times to get over the rough
places, but | think that all
goes to make happiness. 1t
is human nature to enjoy a
little bit of roughness mixed
with the smoothness. And
so l say II more couples

with their love and make 1t,
instead of Mammon, the
God of the home there would
be more happy homes. SIM
