In presenting the popular, youthful
star, William Elliott in the celebrated
dramatic success, “When We Were
Twenty-One,” Daniel Frohman, a
past-master in stagecraft, said: “Mr.
Elliott’s winning personality and mag
netism will have.full scope, both in [
lighter movements, where “the Imp”
(Mr. Elliott) enjoys the freedom of
college life and breaks loose in the
New York cabarets, and the later
ones, when he meets the notorious f
“Firefly” (Marie Empress), a heart
less and beautiful actress, who, hear- 1
ing from a practical joker that “the 1
Imp” will come into a fortune when i
he is of age, marries him on the day |
he is twenty-one, and flings him aside j
when she hears he is penniless. From
this crisis “the Imp” emerges regen
erated, turning to a purer, sweeter
love that waits for him at home. All .
this, and more, is beautifully portray- j
ed in motion pictures at the Empress J
theatre Sunday and Monday March 4 j
and 6.
For this Saturday, March 3, “The I
