AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARD’S PICTURES. AY. S. HART.

A great and glorious yarn, manly in spirit and full of rapid action with the breezy actor, AV. S. Hart, in the leading role sums up the Triangle AA’estem drama, “Truthful Tolliver,” the star attractiin on Thursday (tomorriw) evening by Pollnrtl’s Pictures in the Princess. Theatre. Western drama was at a low ebb when Dart joined the Triangle Company, but be has lifted it up, and it now ranks with the best of the Triangle Productions. In the plot, of “Truthful Tulliver there is a double love story running through tlie play and two charming adtresses in “Alma Reubens” and •‘Nina Byron” are featured in leading roles. AA', S’. Hart as the editor of tlie “Glory Hole. Nugget” lias a character altogether new. His recommendations for the position of editor are: a determination to tell the truth, great ability for the lassoo, first class uursemanship, and two grim six-sliooters. AA’ith these latter articles be is willing and anxious to back up liis opinions. There- are some terrific scenes when the conflict between Hart and tlie evil elements of tlie town reaches its height. Included in tho display is “Tangled Threads,” • the Tenth Chapter of.“ Gloria’s Romance.” . This chapter shows “Gloria” (Billie Burlce) discovering “Freneau’s” faithlessness nau the grea't woman’s sorrow that shakes her whole being, when is forced fro*, her the cry: “He was false to me, and I loved him so.”
