POLLARD’S fiCTURES.

WEDNESDAY. On Wednesday Pollards are showing a Goldvvyn Feature starring Madge Kennedy in her latest Comedy Drama entitled “Leave it to Susan,” It is good to see. Madge Kennedy in the delightfully humorous role she has in “Leave it to ptisan,,” for comedy is,her forte, and the woods are full of achrvniose actresses. This dainty star has few serious rivals when it comes to generating humour. As Susan she surrounds herself with such an armour of innocence and appears so unmindful of villainy that she makes her kidnappers real had men, appear like a delegation of missionaries. She always wanted to meet bandits, and doesn’t think they are had fellows at all. But she knows how to handle them, and the scenes in the shack in which they are hiding are among the funniest of the comedy. The action takes a melo-dramatic turn occasionally, which is immediately relieved hv some ludicrous situation, handled with piquancy by the dainty comedienne. “Leave it to Susan” will provide a bright and joyous evening’s entertainment. A Post Nature Scenic, and “Raise the Rent” Comedy will also he screened. On Thursday Pollards are. screening a double star programme. Irene Castle in “The Girl from Bohemia”, six nets and Elsie Jam’s in “A Regular Girl”, five acts, altogether eleven thousand febt of film.
