AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARDS PICTURES. TO-NIGHT. At the Princess Theatre to-night, Pollard’s Pictures present a big attraction in the latest screen success of Edward Clark’s famous stage drama, “Do Luxe Annie,” featuring the ever popular Norma Talmadge in the leading part. The caste is as follows: —Jude Kendal (De Luxe Annie) Norma Xalmadge; Jimmy Fitzpatrick, Eugene O’Brien; Walter Kendal, Frank Mills; Dr Fernand Niblo, Edward Davis; Detective Cronin, Fred It. Stanton, Cyrus Monroe, Joseph Burke; Mrs Archer, Edna Hunter, Janet Kendal, Harriet Jenkins; Joe, (gracery clerk) David Burns. Note.— The ‘‘De Luxe Game” is an adaption of the old badger game, in which the woman poses as a seller of De Luxe Editions, and inveigles some individual with a weakness for pretty girls into a compromising situation, whereupon her male confederate breaks into the scene, and blackmails the victim, discovered in an embarrassing position with his “wife.”

This Monday Pollards will screen the Prince of Wales’ visit to Auckland, also the tour of the Royal party from Pictou to the West Coast.

McLEAN’S PICTURES.

On Tuesday evening Mr McLean pre- ( sents a double programme. The star picture is “Pay hie,’,’ starring Dorothy Phillips. “Pay Me” is a red-blooded vigorous story of strong men and wo- ■ men. It depicts with a firm hand life , in a lumber camp, where the veneer of civilisation is very tllin and man s pas- > sions are close to the surface. The story is full of primitive romance tho love - affairs of such men are fierce and per- j mits no rivalry. Throughout the situa- . tions are intense, always dramatic, and; thrilling. Dorothy Phillips has not j been scon much here in New Zealand, but in her own country she is accouiite a. star of the brightest magnitude. Al-, though only one of many big parts in this picture, her personality, beauty, and charm will claim many admirers. Tho story moves steadily ioiuai 1 the first' view of the two partners; m the mine—tho one cheerfu l and ed y tilted—the other sullen and ciueh dispute leads to a quarrel-and then t murder, and the sullen partner flees « country, deserting wife ,Jcyears later tho various clmrac vcnw.cn M I vengeance ; and thrilling. nroThe other t^^Sl°enga of Lv wM> ft' This ten-vear-oici 1111 , ..V i liq remarkable powers.
