AMUSEMENTS.

PULLARQ'# PIfJTURfcS.

MONDAY. Monday next at the Princess Theatre, Pollards present Constance Talmadge in the latest Select Feature A Lady’s Name.” She advertised for a husband. She didn’t really want one not that way-—you see. she was already engaged—but she wanted some copy for her new book, and tbat'seomed a. promising method. The ad. was also promising—just quietly—and so were the answers. Out of some hundreds of applicants she interviewed three. I hey were: A Tough Guy, who was thrown out on the mat by her girl chum a ju-jitsu expert, and incidentally a man-hater, who thought monkeys compared most favourably with men. A Butler, and a wowser, who used dreadJul things on his handkerchiefs, took a hot bath every Saturday, and was popu lap with ladies—those were his main qualifications. He also went to the mat, but with “igh ’opes” for the future, and a promise to take tea when master was ‘'liout.” An Explorer and Clubman, incidentally a gentleman, who settled a bet over her. but wouldn’t collect as he’d have to disclose her name—you see. Cupid had got a bullseyo with him, too. No mat for him. But the strange coincidence was that: he was the butler’s master ,and lie arrived home in the middle of the butler’s tea party. The second series of the Post Nature Study “Dewdrops,” latest Gazette and comedy will also be screened.

At the Princess Theatre this evening All- McLean presents a doublestar attraction headed by a Paramount special attraction “M’Liss” adapted from llret. Harte’s famous novel, featuring the world’s sweetheart, Mary Picklord. Melissa is a quaint little, ragged girl of the Western American mountains. The story is said to inve the charm of human feeling and romance. “M’Liss” at school, eager to learn, but impatient of discipline. The little wild girl is ready to run off the into the woods at any moment— prepared to defend herself with her “shanghai.”—and capable of melting at a kindly word from her teacher. Of course she falls in love with the good-looking schoolmaster. Time passes, and history has an unexpected dramatic, and pleasing ending. The other .attraction is a special engagement of Zoe the boy clairvoyant and Sid the Sailor, the talking do 1 !, and Little Tich, the pocket comedian. Don’t fail to see this clever combination Usual prices will prevail.
