GREAT H0UDINI AT
 EMPRESS TONIGHT

The whole world knows of Houdini. the "Handcuff King" and many have seen his marvellous wizzardry on the stage. It remains for the silver screen to bring his remarkable feats before millions who have not had an opportunity to see him.
 Throughout the civilized world Houdini is recognized as the great est wizard that ever lived. In "The Grim Game" an amazing drama of love, mystery and adventure, he adds to his marvellous exploits others that have never before been performed.
 A notable cast supports the famous magician and the play as whole rep resents the best art, in direction, photography and staging, that the great Paramount Aircraft studios are capable of.
 The smashing climax, when two airplanes crash in midair, and fall 5000 feet to earth, was an accident not planned, but caught by the cam era men, and is the only spectacle of the kind ever filmed from a close up.
 "The Grim Game" is showing to- night and Saturday, and is picture that will interest everyone.
