Empress Starts Today With
First Run Fox Comedies

1t possibly is not very well known,
but William Fox, who is at the head
of one of the largest film producing
companies in the business, is also one
of the largest exhibitors owning a
string of houses in the east. 1t oc-
Cured to him that there were not
enough good comedies OH the market,
at least those having many hearty
laughs, and he decided that the only
way to get them was to make them,
with the theory that many other eX-
hibitors throughout the country were
looking for comedies that were funny,
not merely a sort of half drama, halt
comedy. For the last few weeks he
has personally been present at his
west coast studios supervising the
making of a number of them, as he
knows from a practical showman's
standpoint just what the public wants
in this line. The Empress theater OF
this city announces that it has just
completed arrangements whereby it
will show the William Fox comedies
first run in this city every week. Mr..
Foxs' idea is best illustrated by a
remark he made few days ago, when
he said "a comedy should have
smile every foot and roaring laugh
once in each reel at least, and | don't
care how much money it takes to
make this said laugh" "Six Cylinder
Love-" the Foxflm comedy which is
shown at the Empress the first four
days of this week, starting today,
proves beyond a doubt that he has
really made comedies that are funny.

the pockets, finding a plain white
card on which was penciled
"T. D., AZ Water street, third door,
second floor-four short rings
For long moment she stood mo-
tionless staring at the card. That
this was the woman's address she felt
convinced.
Swept on by an impulse she could
not combat she dressed swiftly-a
dark suit and heavy veil. Hurrying
down to the sun-bathed street she
signaled passing taxi and gave the
address, AZ Water street"
A rapid drive across town, and they
entered squald waterfront district
The cab drew up before an old-fash-
ioned dilapidated brick house with
broken shutters and an unkept door
way.
As she went up the steps Mary saw
with surprise that the front door was
ajar Pushing it open, she entered
the dim, shadowy hallway.
Conquering a throbbing sense of
fear, she started up the dark stairs.
Twice she paused with an alarming
desire to turn back, but her heart
beating fast, she forced herself on.
The second floor was gruesomely
black. Timidly Mary approached the
third door. She was summoning her
courage to touch the button, when
she was startled by gruf voices
within.
They've put Mike away for two
years, and ii he hasn't talked yet--he
will! What's the name of that law
yer-who got him to plead guilty."
Kennedy" growled another voice.
well, he promised him a job after
he'd done his piece-if he'd run
straight Oh, Mikes squealed, all
right. We'd better beat it or we'll
have the cops here any minute"
Mary had heard enough, Her abb
surd mistake was clear. Terrified,
with held breath, she ran down the
fearsomely-creaking stairs and out
into the security of the sun-lit street.
She had stumbled on a band of
criminals whom her husband intended
TO prosecute. Could she let him
know what she had overheards Could
she tell him without confessing her
Jealous suspicious? What excuse
could she give for being in such a
neighborhood?
Her mind in a whirl, she hurried on
with no thought of direction, soon
finding herself in a crowded tenement
district with Uttered fire escapes,
push-carts and swarming children.
Through another street and she
took cross-town car, which brought
her to more familiar section.
EHer adventure had taken barely an
hour. By the clock on her dressing
table it was just II when she again
stood before the mirror to remove
her Disgusting veil.
A letter with a special delivery
stamp lay beside the pin cushion The
long envelope was roughly typewrit-
ten.
Wonderingly, lhe tore it open, 1t
was a newspaper clipping, on the mar
gin of which was penciled the stab
bing, anonymous message:
ut might be we'll TO watch your

WalIy Likes 20 Play UkuIele;
Director Made Him Act Some

Wallace Reid, the Lasky- Paramount
star, likes to lie on couch, smoke
his pipe and play the banjo. Morosco
Director William H. Taylor made
himself Wally's friend for life during
the filming of THE World Apart" in
which Reid, with Myrtle Stedman,
will be seen at the Muse theater to-
day, Monday and Tuesday. Wally
always has his banjo or ukulele about
so that he can strum on it in the mo-
ments he is not busy. Director Tay-
lor, seeing the young star enjoying
himself, promptly arranged the action
of the play so that Wally could be at
ease, smoke and play away while the
rest of the cast did all the work, but
later Taylor threw in a couple of ad-
ditional fights to show the star he was
still the director. Others in the cast
are John Burton, Florence Carpenter
and Henry A. Barrows.

Magnificent Background
Chosen bv BrenOn

Patrons of the moving picture who
are tired of the dull, drab stories OF
sordid lives in dingy surroundings,
will welcome the second Herbert Bre-
non production for Selznick- Pictures,
"The Eternal SIM" with Florence
Reed in the principal role, which
shows at the Strand theater Friday
and Saturday.
In this picture Mr.. Brenon has
drawn upon all the resources at his
command to create a photodrama
which will so far excel in its mag
niicence anything of the sort ever
produced that it will be in class by
itself, and set new mark for perfec-
ton in exquisite detail. For weeks he
had his assistants engaged in the
most painstaking research work, un-
earthing rare prints in libraries and
museums, and obtaining all other data
available concerning the court of the
Borgias.
Never has the world known such
splendor as existed among the ruling
class in Italy during the renaissance.
The Babylonic era alone surpassed it,
but only in barbaric extravaganza.
The renaissance was a period of real
artistic achievement and under the
patronage of Lucretia Borgia and
other reigning notables, works of
art were created which are still re-
garded as masterpieces.
1t is in this atmosphere of splendor
that the story of "The Eternal Sin"
transpires. But the beauty of the set
tings and costumes does not interfere
with the swift movement OF the in
tensely dramatic and sensational
story.
