- Description
Programme lists films to be seen at the Empire Theatre, where live music was played by the Empire Supreme Orchestra conducted by Signor Truda. The main feature film was "Cabiria", set in the "rude Carthaginian world", about the collapse of a civilisation under the tyranny of the deity or king Moloch. The programme relates this to the circumstances in 1916: "Change the scene, replace the writings of Plautus with those of Treitschke, the babes of Belgium as the victims of the modern Moloch, and this gigantic struggle of the 3rd century BC is reflected bestially in the 20th century AD".
