EMPIRE

The scenes of Bound in Morocco"
 are laid in Algiers and 1t is a snappy twentieth century photoplay filled
 with comedy which travels at high speed throughout. The picturesque country of Algiers. which has been the scene of numerous great paint tngs, novels and photoplays, is the home of Douglas Fairbanks latest
 picture produced under Aircraft aus pfces. The action has to do with Ar abians, beauties of the harem, fights with bandits, etc, in which MT. Fair banks portrays a character quite diff ferent from any he has hitherto es- saped.
 In addition to the features named,
 great travelling caravans, with their tawdry camels, goats and other anil
 mals are shown. There are battles
 and chases on the Arabian desert, in
 which hundreds take part and in which MT. Fairbanks does his cus- tomary dare-devil stunts, one of these being a dive Mir. Fairbanks makes from the top of a high sand-dune
 upon the neck of an Arabian rider,
 who is. passing by on a swiftly speed ing horse beneath. This is followed by an exciting hand to hand fight, in which. of course. Mr Fairbanks | emerges as the victor.
 There are numerous situations in this story, in addition to the Fair
 banksen methods, which makes this
 story unusually interesting. The pho | to play will be shown at the Empire
 theatre today. Also don't miss the
 emperor of comedy. Charlie Chaplin,
