POLLARD’S PICTURES. ENID BENNETT—AIONDAY. On Monday evening next at the Pirincess Theatre Enid Bennett the Australian star who is now in the first rank of American film artists is the heroine of “Tho Girl Glory,” the fine Triangle drama to bo screened. The story is bv Gardiner Sullivan, one of the cleverest writers of filmdom and is a lifelike and human piece of work “Glory” is a mischievous and reckless girl who is worried by her grandfather’s one serious failing—ho likes a glass too much. -She is at her wits end for a method of dealing with the old man’s weakness, and finally conceives a scheme which is daring enough for anything. Tt leads to her emerging from the public bouse of the little town, and with all the signs ofintoxieation, and the ultra goody-goodies of tho place are much concerned. However, the plan from its very impudence is an unqualified success, and the story ends in the wav nil stories should. There is a delicious love romance mingled with the doings of the plot, and AVilliam AVators as the hero is manly and charming, acting without siaginess. The photography was splendid, and once more the decorative sub-titles, with their neat and clever wording, are strong features of the production. Alargery Bennett, the pretty young sister of Enid makes her debut in “The Girl Glory” as a little Aliss Prude. However, she rivals her successful sister in charm and good looks, and will soon be among the high salaried American ranks. “Everybody’s Business” is a wonderful drama full of scenes of the present day woven into a dramatic picture that set all England talking. It shows four steps in the career of a U-boat and the end is the sea pirate’s destruction. These thrilling submarines scenes are in the story not meaningless pictures.
