POLLARD’S PICTURES. “BABBLING TONGUES.” A MIGHTY DRAMA TO-NIGHT Believe not each accusing tongue As most weak persons do; But still believe that story wrong . Which ought not to be true. To-night in the Princess Theatre Pollards will screen the 7000 ft Ivan drama “ Babbling Tongues,” a story of good names torn to tatters. By a series of powerful situations the interest swiftly and steadily increases, until it culminates in a climax of extraordinary force and bewildering originality. The ingenuity of the authors and producers in maintaining such a high tension throughout is nothing less than a marvel. In chaiacter of plot and in structure it smacks very strongly of plays referred to generally in French. Love interest, heart o-rip, dramatic tension, tragic immensity, and appealing power all go to make this one of the greatest and most human dramas ever shown.

“ SA-HERA.” 011 Wednesday evening, instead of Thursday, Pollard’s usual picture display will be given, when a marvellous attadrion extraordinary will be included in the big vaudeville attraction “ Sa-Ilera,” the woman of mystery, the marvellous thought-reader. Madame Sa-Hera is presented by Ben. and J. Fuller, and her marvellous performances of second-sight has attracted huge audiences in the centres. Biing your questions and “ Sa-Hera ” will answer them; think of a thing and “Sa-Hera” will tell you. Pollard’s Picture display will include “ The Heiress at Coffee Dan’s,” featuring Bessie Lov* and the 9th chapter 0 f “ The Mystery of the Double Cross.”
