AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARD’S PICTURES. “GREAT WHITE TRAIL” TO-NIGHT. To-night’s star picture, “The Great White Trail” will feature a clever and charming star actress in Doris Kenyon. “The greatest scenic background ever made” was the critical opinion on the wonderful Alaskan scenery, and untrodden show Wastes which form the background of tbe Wharton feature, “The Great White Trail.” It is a live story of many vicissitudes, in the days when men turned brute in their wild rush to tbe gold of the Klondike, and when thousands fought their way over the icy steeps and great fiats of snow in their crazed desire for northern gold. And all through tho atmosphere of roughness, a tiny pair of baby shoes tugs and strains at the hearts of a man a woman and their child, tugging and tugging with the strength that only th e sentiment of baby shoes can possess, until at last the sunshine of happiness comes to those who have suffered long ; in the shadows of sorrow. Doris Kenyon, one of the most beautiful stars in the film firmanment plays the leading role, assisted by a caste of universal excellence. On Wednesday, Louise Huff will be featured in her latest success, “The Little Intruder.” McLEAN’S PICTURES. <‘THE SNEAK’ ’ TUESDAY.
