EMPRESS TONIGHT IN
MIRTH-PRODUCING PLAY
Charles Ray, the inimitable, sup
ported by Jane Novak, pretty, sweet,
dainty and demure, in “A Nine O’clock
Town,” is the offering tonight at the
Empress. It’s a typical “Ray” pic
ture, with quaint village characters
galore. The story of a village boy
who visited the Big City and came
back with a lot of new fangled notions
that didn’t fit in with a town that
went to bed at 9 o'clock. Aided and
abetted by his mother, he persuades
father to put a new plate glass front
in the old Emporium, and add a few
bright lights. He takes over manage
ment of the old-fashioned store and
inaugurates some of his new ideas,
among them a city corset model. And,
oh, boys, when that model steps off
the train, even the village band stops
playing.
It’s five reels of fun and action, and
a Pathe News with a Ford educational
complete the program.
