LONDON, Eng., Dec. 22.—Another
proof of the world supremacy of Ame-
rican motion pictures has been sup-
plied here by the New Empire Thea-
...------tTfi,—London’s lai eat movie house, in the front rows of the orchestra,
which stands on the site of the old
Empire variety theatre in Leicester
—- Square, one of the mnpt famnun instl-
tutions of a bygone day.
With pomp and ceremony of the sort
never seen in this country before, the
New Empire was recently opened with
advance hullabaloo of the type which
was more like Broadway than staid,
sedate old London. A host of inter-
national dignitaries, as well as stage
and screen stars, attended the prem-
iere. The theatre was advertised as
the most modern in England, seating
3,500, equipped with a disappearing
orchestra (the first in this country),
a mammoth pipe organ, and the like.
And the first picture to be shown
was an American film “Trelawney of

The only way the merchants have of know-

way you pay your bills. Have you let past due

beyond your reach? If so, you are taking an
unfair advantage of the merchants who have
given you credit in good faith. You probably
dislike this as much as the merchants and have
wondered how you could do something about it.

that the health of the box office is
