POLLARD'S PICTURES. “ROMANCE AND ARABELLA.” TO-NIGHT. At the Princess Theatre to-night Pollard’s present, “Romance and Arabella,” an attractive drama, with Constance Tahnadge as the young widow who begins to sit up and take notice, and think of her departed as her ‘first’.

•'the man I marry now must give me thrills— must sweep me off my feet!” Then began the sweeping. “Arabella’s , suitors were a cave man, a callow youth, a cubist artist, also impoverished—a scientist and Eugenist, aud, last but not least Bill, who fed the fires of romance by keeping the supply of suitors going.
