How they got tangled up and disentangled makes a rip-roaring comedy, full of spicy complications, and a laugh every minute. On Monday next a big World Feature will he Pollard’s star attraction entitled “Three Green Eyes” featuring an all star east including Evelyn Greenly, Juno Elvidge, Carlyle Blackwell, Montagu Love and Johnny Hines.
