POLLARD’S PICTURES. TO-NIGHT I TO-NIGHT 1 j This Wednesday evening Pollards are j screening a World Feature starring j Louise Huff and John Bowers in “T’other Dear Charmer”. A delightful ro- | niunce of youth and summertime. The story is delightful. The star is tender, true, witty, pretty, winsome. She’s a French Alaid in this story, and no more pretty and attractive maid ever appeared in a picture. You’ll be sure to do what her handsome leading man, John Bowers did—fall in love with her.

“DON’T EVER MARRY ” THURSDAY. “Don’t Ever Alairy,” the greatest mirth maker ever shown in Hokitika, will be screened at the Princess Theatre to-morrow (Thursday) evening, under the direction of the New Zealand International Picture Attractions for one night only. The humour arising in this, Alarsbal Neilan’s First National production, when a young husband of a day finds two other wives thrust upon him, neither of which lie can remember leading to the hymereal altar, can he imagined. Never has such delightful comedy been squeezed into six reels of masterly production as “Don’t Ever Marry” reveals. The International Attractions announces the commencement of the “Don’t Ever Marry” season and promises something very exceptional in the entertainment line with tlijs latest, Neilan masterpiece. Neilan’s genius for extracting lb,, last hit of humour out of a situation, even in drama, has been allowed full swing in “Don't Ever Marry,” and vke result is probably the funniest comedy even seen on the screen.
