TRIANGLE PROGRAM AT
THE EMPRESS TONIGHT
The Empress theatre will feature
tonight Bessie Barriscale with Clara
Williams and Robert McKim in "The
Last Act.” Also a two act comedy
with Ford Sterling will be shown.
Ethel Duprey (Miss Barriscale)
wanders about a park thoroughly
discouraged. She is out of work and
funds. Mrs. Hale wife of an attorney,
slips a bill into the girl's purse after
Ethel refuses to accept aid. In a
short time Ethel gets an engage
ment in a small part in a play called
"Retribution." The star injures her
ankle and Ethel takes her place. She
makes a hit on the opening night.
At a supper given in honor of her
triumph, Ethel meets Lewis Hale
the husband of the woman who had
befriended her. A warm affection
springs up between the pair. Lewis
wants Ethel to elope with him, so he
can marry her after getting a divorce.
Mrs. Hale comes heavily veiled to
Ethel’s apartment. Not recognizing
her Ethel refuses her plea. The mar
ried woman faints. On tearing off
her veil, Ethel recognizes the woman
who had befriended her. When Hale
comes for his answer he meets his
own wife dressed in Ethel’s clothing
and made to look as she did in the
days when they were first married
Ethel is soothed in her heart-broken
condition by her faithful maid and
companion, Suzette.
