MASTERPIECE AT THE
EMPRESS TOMORROW!
Daniel Frohman presents factors of
excellence in Ahe “Scales of Justice,
the five-part masterpiece of the Fam
ous Players, of the story of John
Reinhart, which will be shown at the
Empress Theatre tomorrow night.
Paul McAllister in the role of
Robert Darrow, the district attorney
who resigns rather than prosecute the
woman he loves ami believes innocent,
is featured. The lawyer he give us is
something of a dreamer whose course
is determined by an active conscience.
Mark Price who interprets the part of
the stern old grandfather, gives a j
tine performance. Other players in ;
the cast are Hal Clarendon; Katherine j
Lee, the six year old artist, whose j
talent has astonished the world; Dan-,
iel Jarret, and “Jane Eearnley.” who \
has the part of the unhappy heroine
whose unsuccessful marriage is quick
ly shown in the early part of the j
story.
With its good cast, good story, 200 ;
superb scenes, ami carefully planned
interiors, “The Scales of Justice will
furnish excellent entertainment for
the patrons of the Empress.
