POLLARD'S PICTURES.

“THE LITTLE MOTHER,” WEDNESDAY.

Pollards’s attraction to-morrow (Wed. nesday) evening in. the Princess Theatre will be the cnild wonder, Emmie Gorman as “Tlie Litile Mother,” and the 13tlt episode of “The Lightning Raider.” “The Little Mother” released by the Pioneer Films, features a wondorchild of to-day, by name Emmie Gorman. Only six summers have passed over the golden head of this baby, •yet ber charm, her innocence, her beauty, and her artlessuess are priceless gems surrounding the cameo of her natural artistry. The story is one that will suit all tastes and ages. It will appeal equally to the young, middle aged and old folks; to the young folk because they will see a child of their own age performing the tasks usually allotted to grown-ups; to middle-aged folks because their own little ones will be reflected in the screen pictures of this talented child; and to the old folks because of their finer developed love of all children ,their memories of things and days that are past, and their calm outlook upon the future people with spirit children of their dreams.

McLEAN’S PICTURES.

“THE GIRL DODGER,”-TO-NIGHT. Charles Ray’s new photoplay, “The Girl Dodger,” a Thomas H. luce Paramount picture which will be shown tonight has the ingredients of a thoroughly fascinating tale of school days—or college days. The adventures of Cuthbert Trotman, a dreamy student who is compelled to take the place of a lively associate when a dinner in honour of a chorus lady and her friends, planned by the other conflicts with a more serious affair, is the basis of a plot that involves the hero in some of the rfiost amazing adventures. He finally extricates himself by his fistic prowess and despite his dreamy outlookand his studious tastes wins the othoi fellow’s girl. Needless to say, CharF; Ray is the dreamy student. Doris Fee is the girl. The pranks of the sfc' • dents, the distracting experience of the students when he mistakes the fashionable affiancee of his friend for the chorus girl, the ensuing contremps and a series of the nipst amusing anil exciting complications, provide material for what is termed the swiftest fill" that has been produced by Mr luce in .t long time for Paramount. The supporting items include “The Silent Mystery,” the latest Gazette, and a lwreel comedy featuring Billy West.
