POLLARD’S PICTURES. NORMA TALMADGE, TO-NIGHT.
At the Princess Theatre to-night the star of emotional actresses Norma Talmadge will be seen in the part ot the woman who, treading the primrose path met the inevitable “Law of Compensation.” The play is a six-act vSelect National production and is consistently good throughout. It is a story within a story ; the story of a young woman who to be saved, is shown the path her mother trod, the path that led to a year’s happiness in the land of luxurious lure, and then an age of despair. Norma Talmadge gives splendid impersonations of the dual role of mother and daughter. The piece is splendidly acted and mounted, and is terribly forceful, but at tlie same time treating the subject in a delicate manner. The evil element what there is of it is totally over-balanced by a strong depiction of the nobler and more elevating instincts of life.
