AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARD’? PICTURES. THURSDAY’S PROGRAMME. “An Amateur Orphan” featuring Gladys Leslie—the girl who is said to be the owner of a million dollar smile —is the star attraction of the programme to be screened by Pollards at the Princess Theatre on next Thursday evening. A vivid story of youth and its perilous pathways is told in “An Amateur Orphan,” Gladys Leslie is the heroine who makes the experiment and he is charming and lovable, and capable of rendering good work in highly emotional scenes. She plays the character of “a poor rich girl” who by exercising great ingenuity mnnages to escape from the tedious life which has bored her, and becomes an inmate of an orphanage; here she finds adventures in plenty—but nothing to those that arrive when she is employed as a farm hand. Many novel and ingeni oils “stunts” in photography particular ly on the farm—mark the Path© Gold Rooster play—“An Amateur Orphan” nnd invest it with unique interest. “Go Back to the Land” is common advise but Gladys Leslie —as the high spirited heroine—finds that the life has its draw backs and perils. “Haunted Canvas” the 12th episode of “The Iron Claw” and a “Topical Budget” will support the first class production, “An Amayteur Orphan.”
