Summary
The detective drama is the chosen theme for this week's programme at the Coronet, and 'The Empire of Diamonds' had a most favourable reception at its first screening yesterday. The resources of the house of Pathe had placed within the scope of the film a number of interesting scenes lifted en bloc from the famous Riviera, including the Monte Carlo Casino, the floral feast, and the beautiful scenery of this coast. The production is well-staged, the photography magnificent and it only needed the work of the artistes to make it a complete success. The film exceeded all expectations may be surmised from the fact that it is one of the best pictures of its class shown at this well-known little cinema.
