POLLARD’S PICTURES.

j WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY 1 On Wednesday Pollards are screening a World Feature “The Black Circle’’ starring Creighton Hale, a tabloid serial, with ali tne thrills of forty reels, and its all in 000 gre..t drama. Now you’ve seen a serial, with a few thrills in each episode. Well, “lhe Black Circle” just beats any serial you ever saw for real downrighta excitement and nice goosey thrills, with little tastes of love thrown in for good measure. And you haven’t got to wait for twenty weeks to see it all, because* it’s all in live reels. And after you’ve seen it, you’ll wonder, same as we did, how on earth they did it in the time. On Thursday Pollards star attraction will he a llarma. All British Production, entitled “Nature’s Gentleman.” It’s a British production tor British people, and it shows that Britain is looking to her laurels. English producers, their resources crippled by the Great Mai, could hardly be expected to rival America in fijl'ni production in war-time, but now England is coming into her own, and every succeeding picture seems better than the last, and “Na- • ture’s Gentleman” reaches a very high ! standard. It is a typically British I story, breathing British sentiment and | thought; it differs radically from the i American conception of the Britisher because it portrays the real thing, and not the imitation; lienee you see the healthy, natural British girl in the pie--1 ture making her breakfast, fully dressed—not attired in the intimate gar- ' ments that belong by right to boudoir ' of good, old-fashioned porridge and bacon and eggs.
