POLLARD’S PICTURES.

T | Wednesday and Thursday. s -_ i Dn \\ ednesday Pollard's Pictures will ; screen J. Warren Kerrigan in “The j End of the Game”. A thrilling story jof the Californian Goldfields. A love : that surmounted all obstacles—the love iol a gentleman gambler, whose word i s was his bond, for the little girl he had n befriended and whose gratitude rapidly . U'rnod to affection. Rapid lire action, |[ amid scenes of the old, bad days when e the man who was slow on the draw ( was f|iiick to meet death—when men administered their own laws, and the strong arm was the greatest right. | On Thursday Pollard’s will screen the great Australian Picture “Possum Paddock'’. This absorbing screen version of the popular play depicts the troubles - and trials of the man on the land in the . great out-hack of Australia. The heart . story of these dwellers of the bush will I interest you and hold you. Honest old ■\ndy MeQuade, with his strong con- . viotions. his deep love of home and , country, and his determination to suci coed must appeal to you right away, j 1 hen there are those wonderful laughmakers Bob and Anastasia. All the world loves a lover so will you when you meet these two. Then there is Nancy who so nearly falls a victim to the wiles of a merciless spendthrift Fred Dering. Then comes Tlughis Bracken, laughing aml lovable, who so nearly loses the girlie of his heart, but, who like all true heroes puts up the fight of his life, and wins in the end. No expense has been spared in Ibe production of this great Australian picture. In get the real out-back atmosphere many hundreds of miles had to lie traversed l>y~ the actors and actresses for I • production of- certain out-lpck ' scenes of the drama. Unlike some Australian pictures “Possum Paddock” lias a human and gripping love story to commend it. ft has been described as a real sunshine drama, laughter and smiles with a tear 0 r two. It will undoubtedly repeat its Australian success here, "Possum Paddock” is said to he Australia s latest and host production. Quite different to “On Our Selection” or the ‘-Hayseeds.’ Prices Circle 1/7. Stalls I 1. Hoserve at .Mclntosh’s.
