WALLACEREm TOMORROW
AT EMPRESS THEATRE
Tomorrow night at the Empress
Wallace Reid appears in one of those
fascinating serio-comic plays for which
he is famous. His impersonation of
the destitute book agent who sudden
ly achieves millions—and loses them
with equal rapidity, is well worth see
ing. Ora Carewe as Desiree Lane, a
cashier, and Tully Marshall as Wil
kins, a rogue, Charles Ogle as the
garage keeper and James Neill as
Desiree’s father, are all especially well
cast, each contributing an important
share toward the human and humor
ous that make “Too Many Millions”
one of the most enjoyable plays in
which Mr. Reid has been seen.
