MASTERPIECES AT THE
 EMPRESS TOMORROW

Daniel Frohman presents factors of excellence in the Scales of Justice" the fve-part masterpiece of the Fam ous Players, of the story of John Reinhart, which will be shown at the Empress Theatre tomorrow night.
 Paul McAllister in the role of Robert Darrow, the district attorney who resigns rather than prosecute the woman he loves and believes innocent is featured. The lawyer he give us is something of dreamer whose course is determined by an active conscience. Mark Price who interprcts the part of the stern old grandfather gives a fine performance. Other players in the cast are Hal Clarendon; Katherine Lee. the six year old artist, whose talent has astoniShed the world; Dan iel Jarret, and "Jane Fearnley,' who has the part of the unhappy heroine whose unsuccessful marriage is quick ly shown in the early part of the story.
 With it's good east. good story, 200 superb scenes, and carefully planned interiors. "The Scales of Justice" will furnish excellent entertainment for the patrons of the Empress.

and that Is geRtllity. Culture Is a
matter OF the spirit. rather than the

art. Culture belongs 10 the soul: 1t

ing cultured, He Is the very opposite
Of 1t. We have c tall scholars who

and discuss Spinoza. who we're not
as much cultured as q rabbit.
It Is the bad idea Of what culture
is that has done lots OF harm In the

cultured. Parents are apt 10 be proud

and kindly boys are passed by. There
Is more hope for the latter in q lie

Where milk is fed regularly to the
