POLLARD’S PICTURES.

ANITA STEWART IN “THE YELLOW TYPHOON,” MONDAY. “The Yellow Typhoon” is a story of gay, bright lights of various cities all around the globe. It takes one from New York to London, Paris, Rome, Monte Carlo, Shanghai, Manila, and back to New York, in a mad swirl across‘continents in pursuit of the most daring adventuress of fiction, and the character tlmt made Harold McGrath’s novel one of the big successes of the year. There is action in every foot, and not a moment without its modicum of suspense and wonderment at what is to come. And Anita Stewart in the two widely divergent roles she enacts does some of the best work of her career. She makes of “The Yellow Typhoon” an absorbingly interesting character, while. in the equally arduous role of the secret service operative, she excites the entire sympathy of an audience, during her thrilling chase after herself as the tawny-haired adventuress. “The Royal Australian Navy” and the latest Pnthe Gazette completes the programme. Coming Wednesday next, Irene Castle in a special Rathe drama entitled “The Girl from Bohemia.” The old hackneyed theme of the girl who journeys from the country village to the city for experience is entirely reversed in “Tho Girl from Behemia,” ■ with that everstriking personality in the fashionable world, Mrs Vernon Castle, in the title role. The “new art” craze, the fashions and the colour and variety of Bohemian life in Greenwich village, is more faitlifullv reproduced in this picture than ever lief ore. Irene Castle is one of the few screen personages who can elicit admiration and praise from her audiences bv sheer force of character and personality, and as the girl from Bohemia, she is all-satisfving m her magnetic presentation.
