AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARD’S PICTURES. WEDNESDAY NIGHT. Princess Theatre will be the goal of all picture-goers on Wednesday night, when Mr Pollard will make a special display of a Tour Through Westland, in two complete parts. This is the picture taken at the beginning of the year by Mr Taylor of the Industries and Commerce Department, and depicts the scenic splendour of Westland up and down the Coast.

Westlnnders will have the opportunity of seeing their own country on the 'Screen, and the audience will find a pleasure and delight in picking out the various notabilities who will shoot across the scene. The range of pictures covers industries and scenery, as well as the ■schools, buildings of the town, and not forgetting some humorous subjects. Mr Pollard is charging the usual prices although this is a special picturedisplay, and the programme of the evening will be varied by some good supports, making a very pleasant and instructive entertainment.

The programme will also include a splendid Triangle feature, “The Medicine Man,” starring Roy Stewart. It is a red-blooded drama of lands where a strong man is valued at his true wrJrth. The play is full of incidents and exciting adventures and a love story of sweet and genuine humaneness runs through it. Roy Stewart is rapidly climbing the hill of popularity and each succeeding picture reveals liis strong personality in more convincing terms.
