MAE MURRAY APPEARS AS MASKED DANCER IN “ON WITH THE DANCE” “On With the Dance,” tonight’s big special attraction at the Empress, is a tremendous drama—the story of a Russian dancer in America, full of color, lights and thrills. Mae Murray, who made a wonderful hit in the Ziegfeld Follies, has the stellar role. She is a veritable spirit of the Dance. As an immigrant from Russia, she celebrates her first glimpse of the Statue of Liberty by staging a wild dance in the steerage of an ocean liner. Later, as the pretty protege of a mSlliorJhire, she appears in a gay cabaret as the "Masked Dancer.” As the pleasure loving girl, sudden ly beset with all manner of tempta tions, falling, then redeeming herself, and finally working out not only her own salvation and happiness, but that of the lives so closely woven with hers,—Miss Murray has the strongest role of her career. A wonderful picture! A big, sensa tional picture; filled with color, light and action, and withal, the most vividly beautiful thing that has ever been screened. It ranks high among the great picture sensations of the year. Let your expectations reach the top notch, for they will all be realized when you see “On With the Dance,” tonight. And the following announcement is especially for the youngsters of town; “Huckleberry Finn” is here. The one, only and original Huck. And he’s playing Friday night, at the Empress. Everybody sit up and take notice, tor when Huck Finn, Mark Twain’s immortal young hero, starts in, things are apt to happen right roon and lively. RAILROAD ROADBED WILL NOT STAY QUIET GREAT FALLS, Mont., Jan. 12 (by Associated Press).—The Great North ern railroad in Montana has 2,000 feet of roadbed that will not stay quiet. Weight of the earth at the side of the cut forces the bottom into unexpected upheavals. When a steam shovel was used to bring the bottom of the cut to its old level recently the earth reared behind the shovel as it ad vanced. The unruly bit of roadbed, which is near Billings, has been abandoned and a detour constructed. Your eyes fitted. Compound and tigmatlc lenses replaced. See Os borne.
