THE BAINS AND POLLARD’S PICTURES THURSDAY’.

On Thursday evening next at the Princess Theatre Mr Pollard’s latest engagements, Verna Bain, star dancer, and ”james Bain, comedian and character impersonator, will present a complete entertainment that will comprise the second half of the even- j ino’s amusement. Pollard’s Pictures j will be screened as the first part and will include the World Film’s great story in “ The Crimson Dove.” The plot is woven around a notorious cabaret women who turned school teacher. June Elvidge, Carlyle , Blackwell and Dion Titheradge are ! starred in this big production. “ The ; Spotted Morning.” the sixth chapter . of “ The Ivon Claw,” will give patrons another opportunity to discover who is the Laughing Mask. At 9.15 the Bains will present the entertainment, Verna Bain, the clever young dancer, j

has just completed a starring engagement in Australia and the Bast and has just arrived from South Africa after a record-breaking season there. A leading South African paper prints the following : There is. something very attractive in the dancing ot Little Verna, who opened at the Umpire last night with a number of original creations. Although only a. tiny mite, Verna has the right artistic temperament, and the rhythm of her movements, her sense of the beautiful, and the dainty manner in which she carries out all her dadoes, at once establishes

her a firm favourite, especially' 1 with the more artistically inclined section of the public. Her interpretation of “The Dying Swan ” was pathetically pretty--so pretty, indeed, that many who have seen this scenic dance performed by terpsichorean artists who are regarded as being in the very front rank of their profession were transported to a state of enthusiasm at Little Verna’s interpretation. In “ Coppelia ” she was the true little butterfly who captivated everyone., while in “The Allies’ Dance” she did some extremely clever and pretty toe work. If there is a. cleverer dancer—\»tr m- little— than Verna, last night’s

audience would give much to see hei. }],. James Bain, t.lie famous comedian, and character impersonator, whose name is a household word, will be seen in some' of ■ his best characfcei sketches and up-to-date songs. Mr Bain has established himself as a solid favourite wherever lie has appeared and justly so, for his talents as a comic singer and dramatic artist aie so great that he takes his place in the leading ranks of vaudeville and variety artists.
