GOOD SHOW TONIGHT
—BIG BILL TOMORROW
Bryant Washburn has created a new
screen type in portraying the good
looking, somewhat lazy young man, in
different and uninterested in his
work, without energy to capitalize the
ability he really possesses. But the
difference with Washburn is that he
wakes up. Of course there is usually
a pretty girl behind the awakening.
In “Poor Boob,” showing for the last
time tonight at the Empress, it is
Wanda Hawley, a young woman of
far more than the ordinary ability,
who is doing such excellent work that
she is soon to bo starred all by her
self.
Tomorrow the greatest dancer of
the day, Anna Pavlowa, will be seen
in the eight-reel spectacular picture,
“Dumb Girl of Portica.” There is a
very special, wonderful music score
which was compiled to enhance the
value of the picture, and which adds
as greatly to its effectiveness as the
Royal Russian orchestra, which ac
companied the Russian ballet headed
by Pavlowa upon the occasion of their
first tour in this country, added to the
charm of the dancers.
