BARRYMORE GIVES FINE
 DUAL ROLE PORTRAYAL
 AT EMPRESS THEATER

If you ever doubted the power of the silent drama" to express the emotions-if you ever felt there was a limit to the dramatic scope of the screen, you have only to see John Barrymore in 'Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde as presented last night at the Empress, to be convinced of your error.
 The screen has never before known such acting as the wonderful dual roles presented by MT. Barrymore With all it's gruesomeness and horror the play fascinates, enthralls, holds it's audience spellbound-and leaves an unforgettable impression. The most powerful story ever told of the strug- gle between the inherent good and evil of mans soul.
 "Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde" is being repeated for the last time tonight.
 On Wednesday night only, Enid Bennett's admirers will have an op- portunity to see her in a mystery story of fine atmosphere and strong interest, "The Haunted Bedroom"
 The spirit of romantic adventure so dear to the heart of all who love good story, is not only held but in tensified in this picture.
 Miss Bennett appears in a role that suits her especially well, in fact, she has never played to better advantage than as the intelligent, attractive American girl who matches her wits against the "spooks" and by no means comes out second best. The play is not only picturesquely intense, but fascinates and intrigues "The Haunt ed Bedroom" will be shown Wednes- day night only. An entire change of program is scheduled for Thursday.
