POLLARD 'S PICTURES.

Double Bill To-night. The big double star features for to-night at the Princess Theatre will consist of the 10.000 dollar prize Vitagraph Blue Ribbon play, “ The Sing of tbe Mothers ” and the Btartling reproduction of “Midnight at Maxims’’ New Yoik’s famous nightclub. The prizs given by the “ Now York Sun ” was won against all comers and the play “The Sins of the Mothers ” has only to be seen to recognise its great merit. The Vitagraph producers claim for it that it is the greatest dra-

Sbe is never out of the picture of Che play whether as the fresh young giil from convent life, or as a tainted woman of society deliberately going on to her tragic end io spite of her husband’s efforts to save her and protect his own honor. A fitting companion picture is the big novelty film showing a replica of “ Midnight at Maxims ” with its host of pretty society women and professional dancers who are seen in ell

the gay abandon of mad merriment that takes place in New York's most famous night club after the clock strikes 12. Some of the finest ballet d acers in the world perform at this ) noted club and the picture shows the revu s, parades, fox trots and classic i ballets as performed by them. The picks is a revelation,
