POLLARD’S PICTURES,

NORMA TALMADGE; MONDAY

On Monday next Pollards are screening a big First National feature, “A Daughter of Two Worlds,” by Leroy Scott, starring the worid favourite, Nonna Talmadge, in the leading role. Girl’s amazing adventures from Bowery to Fifth Avenue. On the Bowery in New Ybrk stood a low dance hall, The Pekin; kept by a notorious police character, Black Jerry Malone. Its glittering lights shattered the blackness of the slimy streets and lured the midnight prowler, the gunman, the sneakthief, the painted woman, the riff-raff. Here was born, and grew to girl-hood, Jennie, daughter of Black Jerry. Here she was taught to forge cheques, to aid the crooks, scarcely realising what she did. Then oiio day she is caught and haled before a police magistrate, where prison looms before her. But Black Jerry conspires with a retired criminal to save Jennie from the clutches of the law. She is placed in a fashionable finishing school, where she meets the daughters of the rich, and later is introduced into exclusive New York society. The grim shadow of her past, however, always threatens her, and though She loves a man of the upper-world, the denizens of the lower world follow her, seeking gain by blackmail. Finally her house of cards tumbles about her head, and her name is blazoned over the city as the daughter of Black Jerry. What do you think became of Jennie? Norma Talmadge tells you, in this story of Jennie’s startling and amazing adventures from the slums to the palaces of the rich.
