Civilization Is Here.
"Civilisation,” the great anti-war
picture, is here at last. Manager
Plnkus received the picture last boat
and gave it a trial run last night, be
fore several friends. It is all that
is claimed for It and more. The pic
ture are the best that have ever been
in the city, the detail being perfect.
The war scenes depicted, with the
aeroplanes dropping bombs on the be
leaguered cities, the great guns of the
fort replying, and the sinking of the
great liner with its load of living
freight by a submarine, together with
the thousands of views of actual com
bat show the horrors of war too viv
j idly for portrayal. Through the play
: a thrilling love story runs. This pic
i lure was shown in Seattle at the Met
|ropolitan for 75c to *2.50 per seat.
Manager Plnkus will charge $1. It
{Is worth $5 at least. This great
' picture will be shown Monday night
{only, commencing at 8 o’clock sharp
land continuing three hours. If you
j wish the management of the Empress
'to present high class plays give him
{your patronage. ''' ' ”’r
