POLLARD’S PICTURES. TO-NIGHT! TO-NIGHT I This evening the World Film’s stirring melodrama ‘ The Rough Neck” starring Barbara Castleton and Montague Lovo will be screened. Just at a time when first class dramatic offerings seem to be getting scarce along comes the World Film Company with a really good melodrama full of surprising incidents and sensational thrills, and with a unique love plot that is sure to hold tho interest. # ‘‘The Rough Neck,” is a story of a primitive-natured man } who> has been called from a big lumber camp to become the political boss of the town, and falls in love with the daughter of a notorious graft-crook. His methods* are direct, and he finds the potty intrigue of party politics irksome. How he cleans up tho grafters, marries the girl against her will under threat of putting her' father in gaol, makes the centre piece of a fine study of virile action, and in the hands of Montagu Love, who does this sort of thing' reallv well, the drama, gets a punch that swings the action along at a lively pace. , On Thursday Pollards will present a big sporting comedy, “Put Up Your Hands” starring Margarita Fisher.
