AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARD * PICTURES. MONDAY. On next Monday Pollard’s will present, at the 'Princess Theatre, the famous Irish actor. Tom Moore is the Goldwyn super feature, “Thirty a Week”, ann- Tom Moore’s debonair style and humor are aptly suited to the part of Dan, the handsome chaifeur, who elopes with the daughter of his employer. The car developed engine trouble which forces them to spend the night out ■in , the moonlight alone. 'An angry parent insists that a mere chaffeur could not compromise his daughter, but she, having more than a passing fancy for Dan’s handsome face, insists that she is compromised—whereupon Dan immediately claims her as any honourable man would and takes her away to be married then home to his mother. How the girl’s family, aided by a wealth 3 unscrupulous admirer endeavour to get her away from her husband, and how in tlie end love triumphs will prove interesting and entertaining and amusing. Dan is a real Irishman, and with the luck of the Irish comes out or top all round. A thrilling motor race f takes place, in which Tom Moore given an exhibition worthy of a professional racer. The settings are distinctive of American Society. “Jerry and the Outlaws”, a Cub comedy, and the interesting Patlie, “A Trip to Rena on a WTtaler” are the supporting subjects of the big Goldwyn production.
