POLLARD'S PICTURES.

At the Princess Theatre on Thursday evening the great Triangle play “The Last of the Ingrams,” will feature those two sterling dramatic artists —William Desmond and Alargery Wilson— in the leading roles. "The Last of the Ingrams” is a story of the wild New England coast and the narrow hearts that live there under the guise of righteousness. 'The drunken son of a long line of Puritan ancestors faces stark ruin, and is redeemed hv the. love of a social outcast, a village “.Magdalene” who had sinned and struggled, and then there came into her life a manhood to save, and helping him to conquer his weakness brings him to the time when his moral regeneration is complete. Strange and wonderful scenery and the most terrificstorm scenes over filmed, form feats of photography without peer. The “Spectre” photography is a big feature in the production showing tho strange creatures that seem to spring from tin* sea foam at the rule of the drunkard disordered fancy. “The Bitter Truth” the 18th Chapter of Gloria’s Romance” the. last but two of tins groat serial depicts Gloria (Billie Burke) slowly awakening to tho fact that the prosecution of the murderer is impossible.

TO-NIGHT! “THE WOMEN IN 47”

PEE R LESS PI CTURES

Tho management of Peerless Pic- ■ tures are pleased to announce that this : Tuesday evening they will present the unique photo-play “The Woman in 47,” a sensational drama in which tho • .eminent star Alice Brady plays the leading role. She is considered as America’s greatest screen artist. The picture is by that great master producer Daniel Frohman which is released through the World Film Cos', and is of more than usual brilliance as there is not a dull inch in the five big reels. The story is that of a young and beautiful Italian girl, who escapes from the tyranny of a cruel uncle, goes to America to meet and marry her lover, and passe s through a series of adventures which combine to make one of the most thrilling and absorbing photo dramas ever shown on the screen before the final happy ending. Love honest and pure, as well as illicit and sensuous, falls to her lot. Unconsciously and unintentionally she exercises a wonderful, almost weird fascination over every man who sees her, and death and disaster follow in the train of efforts to encompass her ruin. In the end she emerges triumphant in the steadfast affection of her boyhood companion. The isuppojting programme will consist* of Paramount Travelogue, Paramount Gazette and a Christie Comedy, and is sent us as one of the strongest supports yet screened. While tho Peerless Venetian Trio will render popular gems from, English, and Italia* Operas, will Be a treat ju itself.
