AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARD’S PICTURES. “THE MIRACLE MAN.” TO-MORROW (WEDNESDAY) NIGHT. “The Miracle .Man” the beautiful document that gives a new sense of kinship and a deeper understanding of the forces of existence will be presented by National Attractions at the Princess Theatre, to-morrow night. This is what tlio “Dohiinidn” has to say about “The Miracle Mail”: Perhaps never, since the King’s Theatre was first opened, has a picture been shown there that coiild rival in grandeur and sublimity the drama that was screened last night. Quite probably the' beautiful music accompanying the screening was in part responsible for the curiously profound emotion that “The Miracle Man” was able to inspire; for all that it is safe to assert that even iii less favourable circumstances Tucker’s remarkable photoplay would have achieved unqualified success. Betty Compson all but photographs the human sotil. The transformation she shows from tlie feline creature 0 f the underworld to tlio awakened and purified woman at tlie end is far more than-a trick niafke-up and manner. She suggests the cleansing of the girl’s whole being. In tlie fleeting changes of her expression one sees the mask of innocence, assumed at first, become the outward sign of the transfiguration within.” Dress circle and stalls 2s Id and pit Is Id.
