“The Impostor”—A Powerful, Excit
ing and Convincing Play.
The name of Jose Collins inevitably
recalls that of her celebrated mother,
Lottie Collins, who made a world
wide reputation in vaudeville theatres
of the English-speaking world. Jose
has done her distinguished parentage
the utmost credit, for she has earned
fame as a light opera star, and now
appears before the world for the first
time as a motion picture artist in a
most interesting picturization of
Douglas Murray’s play “The Impos
tor.”
Miss Collins plays the part of “The
Tearer,” a wild gypsy girl, who mar
ries a man who impersonates his dead
brother. The dual role is in the hands
pi Alec B. Francis. The story is
powerful and exciting, and holds the
audience from beginning to end. The
acting is very intense and convincing,
and the film makes a thoroughly
| sound offering which will please all
I patrons of the Empress theatre where
! “The Impostor” will be presented this
[Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 19 and
