POLLARD’S PICTURES. “A DAUGHTER OF EVE” THURSDAY. On Thursday evening (no pictures Wednesday, owing to the Irish concert) Pollard's present an all British film. ‘ A Daughter of Eve” starring Violet Hopson and Stewart Rome. The story tells of a murder mystery that keeps you quivering with the intensity of its tinfolding. Yon see the wrong man accused, found guilty by twelve of i is lellow-men sentenced and on his way to meet his maker -surely nothing etui intervene to save him. The girl lie loves reads the result of the trial and sentence in a paper two days old—she can save him if she is only in time—she rushes for a ear and speeds eyes out for th(. prison to arrive too late. She tails senseless. Then comes the denouncement, the smashing surprise of Hie whole story. It must be seen to lie believed, ’ll)is is a typically British story, with Britain’s two foremost stars Violet Hopson and Stewart Rome, in the leading roles. Stewart Rome is considered the handsomest actor in Britain to-day. Although a drama there is plenty of real comedy to relieve Hie tensity of tho situations, and - the >/reduction is on a scale of lavishness *eidom equalled. Further chapters of the serial “Smash ing Barriers” will !;e screened and Pollard’s Orchestra will supply the music.
