To-night only that- most popular of all cinema stars, Marguerite Clark, will been .seen in the Famous Players big production. “Little Lady Eileen,” a romance, of old Ireland in five glorious acts; and the most, beautiful scenery yet presented for screen production, The possibilities of the idyll being suitable for adaption to the cinema were somewhat remote, till the proposal was placed before Daniel Frohmim itbe celebrated producer of The Famous players Company. A little concentration of Frohman’s master mind was soon found vanishing all perplexities, wth the result that the people of Hokitika will be afforded an opportunity to-night of witnessing bis tritely magnificent production". Tlt e honour of playing the loading role in wlmt i« a distinct 'photo-play was conferred upon “Marguerite Clark” and no one is more'qualified than the dainty little star to portray the part. The interesting serial “The Mysteries of Myra ”, will b 0 advanced another stage, while included in the sup ports, is a “Ford Gazette'’, and the “Paramount Trarclouge ”, showing you' all the wonders of the world. The outstanding feature of this remarkably production is the . special Irish music supplied for the star production by our full Orchestial Band under the capable leadership of Mr C Gibbons.

POLLARD’S PICTURES.

H. B. WARNER-,—THURSDAY

A big surprise and a big treat is in store for picture patrons onTlmrsday evening next at, thei Princess Theatre when the Triangle Kav Bee company present that actor star, If. B. Warner, in one of the most marvellous creations ever seen upon a screen. H. B. Warner’s great creation of the same name “From Officer and Gentleman” to Hasheesh crawling beggar, from smart Army surgeon to a dirty ragged opium -sodden wreck’ of jfhe Indian Bazaars—un'fcil the moment when a face out of tb e . past awakens him, and a great yearning for the pas*. ffills bis manhood into being—stands out as one of it he greatest, pieces of character acting ever seen upon a screen, and H. (B. Warner as one of the leaders hip the best theatrical schools. The play is splendidly staged and the dreadful realism of the “Massacre of Cawnporo” and the overwhelming of the little band of gallant Europeans by a roaring band of fanatics is shown with great fidelity. The third chapter of Gloria’s Romance,” entitled “Perilous Love,” features Billie Burke as. Gloria at a fashionable school more bewitching than ever ; frolics and' pranks disturb the solemnity of the school, and mystery love and hate begin |o make their presence felt.
