MONDAY,

Monday evening in the Princess Theatre, Pollards will present one ofthe great film masterpieces of all time, the great Vitagraph super featnre, “ My Official Wife,” with the supreme star, Clara Kimball Young, in the role ol tlie beautiful Nihilist Queen. With her is a sup porting cast of unique strength. Earle Williams plays the part of Sacha, the young Russian aristocrat who falls deeply in love with the alluring Nihilist Queen, Marie. Harry Morey is the married American traveller who dares to adopt as his temporary wife the fascinating stranger, and dainty Mary Anderson and Rose Tapley have splendid feminine roles. Roger Lytton plays with force and dignity the strikiug part of the chief of the Russian Secret Police Tlie drama is breathless with excitement from first to last. The perilous situati.oll of the man who, having got into Russia with his false passport and his dangerous and lovely companion, cannot get out again, is full of possibilities, and no guess can be made as to what is to happen next in this story of surprises upon surprise. The dressing is gorgeous and the

settings superb. The clients of enthusiasm over this great picture can be well understood. " History of the War,” No 3, treats of “ Her Faithful Hour,” “The Call to Arms,” “ For the Freedom of the Nation,” “The Great and Silent Navy,” and “ For theTlonour ofthe British Empire.”
