“THE FIRE BRIDE" LAST
TIME AT COLISEUM
"The Fire Brittle,” a thrilling love
and adventure picture, with wonder
ful settings, mad - on a South Sea
Island, opened last night at the Coli
seum Theater and is on for final
.showing tonight.
There have been adventure pictures
■before, uud goad ones, but in few of
them lias the atmosphere and hrill
10C buried treasure, hand-to-hand
■fights, and pa-donate love on a
■tropical! istle been reproduced so vivid
ly and pleasurably. Tito picture is
always good to look at. there Is never
a lull in the action, and tlte big spec
tacular sccnes the tropical storm
/ which tosses whips, houses, people
and trees around like toys, is sensa
tional and realistic enough to make
you hunt a cyclone cellar.
Ruth Reneck gives an appealing
.performance a t the girl who goes
Vlth-her lather on -the treasure hunt,
■meets many strange perils in the
ilagocn of desire, arouses the brutal
pa-slon of a murderous sea-captain,
and escapes it it# to find true love.
■Fred Stanton as the sea-captain is a
good enough bod-man t > got ifb.v
tbody's hisses. Kdjw.ml Hearn, as
,Stevy M a ft la ml. makes a handsome
■hero, whose acting .is natural.

It BIG HIT AT PALACE
' “Myxoid Kentucky Hpnic," which
Opened at the Palace Theater last
mijgh1:, is one if the most intereating
(pictures we have "com thus far this
•season. It contains more real hit
man interest than a dozen other pic
inn a .that have hern shown here an.l
carries a wry good lc-ssbn as well.
iWliat “Way Down East" is to th<j
i?Jew England papulation, "My Oljl
(Kentucky Heme" is to the Southern
ers, yet iv is a picture which is des
tined to as gr at a tstiecess as "Way
\Down East," tar it contains mil the
elements of nsacesaful drama. ■>
, The story concerns a young man
who has been ntiilroari&d to prison
-ait 1 who, when released, is too proud
■tip go home. He does go home, how
<e*rcr, when tit a strains of “My Old
Kentucky Home," bring back fond
memories, and oneo lijjmo lie lives in
yteuvtluL.UU .mother will learn that
. ■■: -' ,
\
ho ;.j an ex-convict. He keeps the
secret from her only to hav^ it made
known by a smuggler who is after
,the band of the you tut mu's sweet
heart.

PRISCILLA DEAN IS
.AT PALACE SUNDAY
I The thread of romance that car-1
ries the inherent threugh tlie plot of j

I of spirit of Lady Vivienne, the Eng

| unacquainted with the nature of the
'country and its people? igidy “Vlv"
does it tor the sake of looking up,
the land which retire seats t he only
weail’tli she possesses, and which
.avery one -.i-ys isn t worth the pupci

Mut it cm lead to happiness, for the
woman who lias 'an indomitable spir.. ^
is sometimes the more easily domi
nated by “the right man."
“The right man" in “Wild Honey"
is impersonated by Robert Ellis.

NEW YORK WOMEN
ASK FOR LIBERAL
ACTION ON LIQUOR
AIJIANY, March —Because peo
ple were being made secret crim
inals, bbys and girls degfaded. poor
men made envious and resentful by
stocks ol' liquor tilling the collars of
men of wealth, women from twenty
counties, representing the Molly
Pitcher Club have asked Governor
Smith to support the repeal of the
M ullan-Gago Prohibition Enforce
ment law as the first step to liber
alize the Volstead Act.
Old papers for Bat* at Empire
office.
Important to all Women
Readers of this Paper.
Thousands upon thousands of
women have kidney or bladder
trouble and never suspect it.
Women’s complaints oftcu prove
to be nothing else but kidney
troutrte, or the result of kidney or
bladder ^disease.
K the kidneys are not in a
healthy condition, they may cause
the other organs to become diseased.
You may suffer pain In the back,
headache and loss of ambition.
Poor health mokes you nervous,
irritable and may be despondent;
It makes any one so.
But hundreds of women claim
that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot, by
restoring health to the kidneys,
proved to be just the remedy needed
to overcome such conditions.
Many send for .i sample bottle to
see what Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, livpr and bladder medicine
will do for them. By enclosing ten
cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing
hainton, N. Y., you may receive
sample size bottle by Parcel Post.
You can purchase medium ami large
size bottles at all drug stores,
