AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARD’S PICTURES. TO-NIGHT I TO-NIGHT! I “GO WEST, YOUNG MAN.” Tonight in the Princess Theatre, a big Goldwyn feature presents that hijppy-go-lucky Irishman, Tom Moore, in the performance of his career in Goldwyn’s “Go West Young Man.” He has a new role, entirely different to those ho has before had, and one of the reasons it is so successful that, being a tenderfoot himself, he was able to present that character feelingly—especially in regard to the riding under railway waggons, dish-washing, and horse-rid-ing in the wild and. woolly West. Of Ora Carew, the “onp and only” girl in the story—not the only girl seen, there are lots of them—but the only girl that matters. Tom hiipself says “She has the wit of the Irish on the tip of her tongue, and bit of the devil in her eyes”—and that’s fair praise from an Irishman. A Pathe Gazette, Pathe News and an Educational Study will support the big picture. On Wednesday next Carlyle BJackwell and Evelyn Greenley will bp Pollard’s star attraction in a Big World film entited “Pourage for Two.”

MCLEAN’S PICTURES.

WILLIAM FARNUM TUESDAY

Mr McLean presents on Tuesday evening, William Farnum in “The Heart of a Lion.” The story of this magnificent picture revolves about two brothers Barney Lemper (William Farnum) and Dick (William Courtleigb, Jr.) Dick is a worthless sort 0 f youth who does not awaken to a realisation of his own shiftlessness until Barney catches him making-love to the woman engaged to marry himself. Then Dick reforms, studies for the ministry, is ordained and sent to a lumber camp. Barney, who has withdrawn completely from civilisation after the loss of his faith in Dick, has become physician in the same camp. When the rough backwoodsmen of the community attack Dick and wounds him, Barney reveals iiis identity and does his best to nurse his brother hack to health and life. Two women play important roles in this production, Mary Martin and Wanda Petit. It' is easy to see how Mr Farnum could love them both. A Sunshine comedy, a great laughter maker, “The Diver’s Last Kiss,” and music by McLean’s full orchestra, will give patrons full value.
