Famous Triangle Plays.
An entertaining story of love, busi
ness and polities presents Douglas
Fairbanks to great advantage in
“Double Trouble,” to be shown at the
Empress theatre this Thursday and
Friday, March 22 and 2'\.
-Mr. Fairbanks has an opportunity
to be two men of almost opposite
finalities. He starts off as Florian
Amidon, the timid arid retiring young
banker. He receives a blow on the
mail and does not recover Ins own
;> rsonality for five years. Then he
i wakes in a J’uUman ear and on look
ing at a paper finds that he has no
memory of the time that has passed,
liecoming another personality, a Mr.
Ilrassfield, he is aggressive and nit fi
les,. He attains a leading position as
an oil man in a flourishing boom town
where he becomes a candidate for
mayor.
As the play unfolds, two other noted
stars, Margery Wilson and Gladys
Hmekwell, are introduced making
more trouble yet ably supporting
Fairbanks. The play finally ends with
the gradual blending of the two per
sonalities into one, anil Fairbanks ac
quires some of the good qualities of
each with none of their drawbacks.
f ollowing “Double Trouble, a mirth
provoking farce of a quiet home al
most broken up by an amorous artist
“A Janitor’s Wife’s Temptation,”
featuring Fred Mace, in a role of an
honest workingman, pestered by the
fascinating artist rival, lioth “Double
Trouble” and “A Janitor’s Wife’s
Temptation,” are from the famous
Triangle plays. *>“»!»
