AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARDS PICTURES. BELLE BENNETT & CHARLIE criAPLrx to-night. To-uiglit at the Princess Theatre Pollards will present two great star features in the Triangle’s big 5-act drama “ The Bond of Pear,” and the only Charlie Chaplin in the latest 2000 ft Mutual Chaplin “ The Cure.” A Judge who mercilessly condemns a man to twenty years hard labour and that night finds himself a fugitive from the law, is the central figure in “ The Bond of Pear.” Melbourne McDowell, who made such a great Lit iu “ The El ame of the "Yukon as “ Black Jack” plays the Judge. 'L'h is role is easily his best performance yet upon the screen. Supposing McDowell is Roy Stewart, the Triangle's groat successor to \\ m S. Hart. The new star, Belle Be; nett is a beauty who possesses exceptional charm and emotional forces and is blessed with the great secret of success " magnetism.” Twenty years of hard labour had been the sentence passed by this man that very morning upon a breaker of the law, and now himself faced the Majesty of the Law, he had administered. And so this upright Judge fled to the desert, there to meet a woman who learned to love him. “ She too,” she confessed falteriiijjly, “ was a refugee from the terror of Man-made Justice,” and the bond between them was, “ The Bond of Fear,” Charlie Chaplin in “ The Cure ” the latest 2000 ft essence of this extraordinary personality's fastest fun making picture, shows the only Charlie, nerve wrecked, owing to dissipation and taken to a sanatorium to get cured. This is genuinely the best of Chaplin’s productions to date, Pollard’s full orche..lia will play the incidental music, and the prices are as usual.
