SOMETHING NEW IN MOTION j
PICTURES.
_
"The Battle Cry of Peace.” a thrill- '
ing film production showing what
might happen to the United States
if a foreign foe landed on her shores ;
and urging preparedness against
such a contingency, is to be present
ed at the Empress theatre next Tues
day and Wednesday, April 17 and 18.
In this marvelous picture will be
shown that “Power Spells Peace” and
the fallacy of the “Peace-at-Any
Price” advocates are ridiculed and
shown up. The first part of the film
is without doubt one of the most dra
matic productions ever presented on,
the silent stage. It shows the de
struction of New York city by a
hostile fleet whose 15-inch guns top
pled building after building without
being in range of the United States
shore batteries. Thousands of per
sons are pictured ninning madly1
about as the bombardment continues, i
both from the sea and air.
One of the finest pictures shown is
the sinking of the two battleships,
which are driven in close to shore by i
the foreign fleet. Then comes the
landing of the troops of Emanon,
which, when spelled backwards is “no
name,” and what they do to the in
habitants.
Attractions Tonight, Sunday and
Monday.
This Saturday evning, two Metro
beauties are to be presented. First:
“A Million a Minute,” with Francis
X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne. Sec
ond: Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew, in a
laughable comedy entitled "Number
One.”
These artists are well known,
therefore, a lengthy story with ref
erence to their talent and popularity
would be idle.
Sunday and Monday, April 15 and
16, Willard Mack, Enid Markey,
round, jovial Roscoe Arbuckle and
Raymond Hitchcock, in two famous
Triangle plays, “Aloha Oe” (Farew’ell
to Thee), and “The Village Scandal,”
will be the offering.
Two Metros and two Triangle
plays, the last word in motion pic
tures, are seldom seen on same pro
gram even in the large cities. But,
there is nothing too good for the Em
press theatre patrons. 818
