AT THE EMPRESS.
A Po f rful Drama With a Powerful
Theme.
The greatest American drama ever
written, and a lasting monument to
the genius of the American play
wright, Clyde Fitch, is called “The
City.” This drama will 1 e the offer
ing in motion pictures at the Empress
theatre this Thursday and Friday,
Feb. 8 and 9.
“The City” is the story of the lure
and lust of the crowded places, where
the battle is to the strong and the
race to the swift. It deals powerful
ly with a powerful theme. It is epoch
al, cataclysmic almost in its terrific
sweep and merciless logic. It is a
story that clutches and holds interest
throughout, never lagging for an in
stant. The climax is of such amazing
power that the audience is dazed. In
short, it is a picture nit easily for
gotten. 411
