AMUSEMENTS

— -'*o*o POLLARD’S PICTURES. MONDAY. The splendid Triangle drama, “llie Millionaire Vagrant,” and the Keystone daring and dainty exhibition ol dancers in primitive costumes in the classic study, “Her Nature Dance,” comprise the star picture features in Pollard’s display at the Princess Theatre on next Monday night. More thrilling than Fairbanks are some of C buries Ray’s feats of agility in the “Millionaire Vagrant.” He puts tip a great tight when the police -come to arrest his sweetheart—klasliing over roof tops, and balancing on very narrow window ledges, finally diving through a skylight to land on the top of the gang who are after him. The plot is a very strong one, the central incident being the arrest of a pretty girl on a, tramped up charge by corrupt police. The story becomes almost tragic in these scenes and the young Australian beauty, Sylvia Bremer, who stars in this feature, has received very fullsome praise for her emotional acting. A startling contrast is pictured in the millionaire’s life in the drawing room and his existence in the second-rate boarding house in the slums. “Her Nature Dance,” the Keystone star feature includes a daring and dainty exhibition of classic dancing by the Keystone ballet on very primitive costumes. The film was screened in the famous “Busch Sunker Gardens,”’ which cost millions to make “Her Nature Dance” :is one of the best of the 2000 ft. farce Keystone comedys and the dancing is truly wonderful.
