EMPIRE

The famous spectacular melodrama, ''The Hope" by Cecil Raleigh ana Henry Hamilton, was produced last night in a motion picture version at the Empire theatre. It was one of the most spectacular efforts of many seasons, it's big scenes including an earthquake in which the houses of a street in Italy are seen toppling into the earth and skirmish between British troops and Afghanistan na- tives in the khyber Pass, India, that is a marvel of realism.
 An all-star cast interprets the photo-p1ay with stirring effect. The decorative Jack Mulhal, as Harold, Earl of Ingestre, wins most of the honors. He is a finished player. of romantic charm and virility. The villain" Captain Hector Grant, is played by Frank Elliott, who, in the original production at the Royal Theatre, Drury Lane. was cast as the hero. MT. Elliott acts with. the com nanding authority of an actor school ed in the best traditions of melo- drama.

POLES. (ReYieW.)

Mammy-O-Mine, presented by Jo- seek. appearing at Polls yesterday with Yerke's Serenaders. is a musical fro1ic. Although Yerke's Serenaders are jazz" artists in the true sense of the word, they varied their pro gram with plenty of singing and orig ina1 effects with their instruments.
 The added feature, Frank Peck and Jack Mcintyre, presenting comedy sketch entitled '|The Black Ace," re- ceived a big ovation at the afternoon derfu1 ability as a black face come dian and English character come dian, possess great voices. winding up their skit with a few, well chosen popular melodies. including .The Harvest Moon Is Shining," one of the latest ballads.
 Kibbel and Kane were billed as an added attraction in novel offering entitled Inventions a Ia Nut" The lines in this skit are clever in places
 Mildred Parker, the dainty violinist, played a number of difficult numbers which demanded a great deal of tech nique and brilliancy of execution. Her tones were taken at a speed that would keep any accompanist going. Sam Davey and the boys were right with her, however.
 The Nippon Duo opened the show with a versatile act which included singing, piano selections and foot jug gling.
 "The Revenge of Tarzan" was again received with great enthusiasm. prov ing again that it is one of the greatest of all pictures. Pathe News and a comedy entitled ''Ten Bar-rooms In 8 Night were shown also.

PARK REVIEW

No matter how clever the play is can easily be spoiled by poor acting, a fact that did not exist in the play French Leave as presented at the Park Theatre last evening by MT. and Mrs. Coburn and their associates. From the leads down to the smallest part the acting was of the best and a particular feature that must have pleased the average theatre-goer was the enunciation of the clever band of players.
 With memories of "he Yellow Jacket and "The Better 'Ole'' one had much to expect from the Co., burns. Mrs. Coburn was delightful as the wife who took french leave and visited her husband within the lines of the English army. the conceal ment of her identity being the basis of the play.
 MT. Coburn's characterization of the bluff army officer was splendid and showed that this versatile actor is capable Of anything he attempts
 Dallas Welford afforded most of the amusement of the evening as a corporal in charge of the brigade mess. Capital is a mild word in ex- pressing approval of his portrayal i The remainder of the cast acted with fine discretion and were evenly bal. anced.
 The play will be repeated tonight and tomorrow matinee and night and should attract the many in Bridge port who enjoy good acting.

LYRIC.

"Just onel augh after anotTler'' was the verdict unanimously given by every one of the audience at the first production of that highly hu- morous farce comedy which open
 ed the week at the Lyric theatre last night.
 Peggy Behave" is a farce of the boudoir type but it is absolutely de- void of anything of suggestive na- ture. It is simply the story of a, head strong young bride who has been spoiled by being allowed to run her fathers home for so many years that she wants to do the same thing after she is married. This causes trouble, by the way, and other cnaracte es- i pecially the deaf mother, portrayed by Jane Tarr, add much to the ex- cel1ence of the production.
 As Peggy Ruth Amos scored a genuine success. Arthur Chatterdon
 is as usual at home in the part of
 John Hammond, the much abused 1 husband. Then there is Miss Mabel Griffith as the widow and Walter Ayres as the father of Peggy;" and
 Shirley Gray, as the maid who is partly responsible for Peggy be- ing "Bossy.''s Edwin Vail, who ap pears only for a few minutes the country chief of police, literally brings@l own the house in his make up without saying enc word. Peggy Behave is in for solid week Of success.

PLAZA,

William Russell and Eileen Percy
 drew capacity houses to the Plaza theatre yesterday in the latest special
 feature drama, f"The Man Who
 Dares.' It is d corking good seven-
 act drama that is one of the most in 1 teresting stories that has ever been picturized. It is a romantic story Of the California Redwoods and is re- plete with action, love and thrills.
 The vaudeville is very good through out. Florence Timponi and her Mel odious Chaps were given 8, big recep- ton last night with a me1ange of ! mirth, melody and music. It is 9 very well arranged musical offering and was appreciated by lovers of song and music. The setting was very pretty and double pianos were used. Pat Rogers. the conica1 chap in songs
 and stories, went big. Wood and
 Lorson, "He, She and a Piano. have 1 a novel offering of songs and melodies 1 that struck a, warm spot in the audi fence. Juggling McBens were also re- ceived with much applause and
 scored an unusual hit. Eddie Polo in
