POLLARD'S PICTURES.

BESS IE BAR B ISC AL E, MON DA V On Monday evening- next at Hie Princess Theatre, Pollards will present Bessie Barriscale in the role of the neglected wife ir. the Triangle f)-act play *• Honours Alter.” This really powerful drama is a picture of immense emotional appeal dealing with a problem that any woman nnfy have to face. Fascinated by the glittering women of society’s smart set a man tires of the woman who had helped him through the years of poverty and dire distress to the goal of success and riches only to find that be bad set a trap for lev that lie might get a divorce. Blind folded innocence had (o fight against foes disguised as friends. Only a good woman could have won through and the climax appeals to the heart of every good woman and man. Bessie Barriscale lias the place of honor in the cast as the wife of a man good enough for him in his days of struggle, but not brilliant enough for circle of smart society friends The cast is a strong one and the two supporting films “ The Gipsy Prir.ce,” a CIIII comedy and- the Pat he scenic “ Here and There in Texas,” are up to the standard of the star feature.
