AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARD’S PICTURES.

Pollard’s Pictures present on Monday evening Constance Talmadge in “The Studio Girl.” In this picture Constance gives the gossips the chance of their lifetime to say nasty things about her in ths most piquant of all her plays. If a, beautiful and tricky little lady like Connie ran away from home and asked you to adopt her, would you refuse? May be not, but lie did. If she decided to make your apartments, her home, would you throw her out? May be not, but he did—of at any rate he tried to. If she told you that she was being pursued by two straight-up-and-down maiden aunts, who were going to make her marry a grinning nincompoop, would you just marry her to save the situation—well, would you be disobliging. May he not, neither was he, in fact, he was not nearly as slow as lie pretended to be.
