POLLARD’S fICTURES.

DOUBLE STAR PROGRAMME TO-NIGHT.

To-night Pollards are presenting a Mammoth double star programme,Irene Castl 0 will be seen in a big I’athe feature, entitled “The Girl from Bohemia.” Mrs Vernon Castle’s magnetic personality and wonderful talent for fashionable creations is given full sway in her latest Pathe Picture, “The Girl from Bohemia,” a story that reveals hitherto to unknown aspects of Bohemian life in Greenwich, Village, the American equivalent of the Quartier Latin of Paris. The arts, the mannerisms, the dresses and the amusements of the students arc shown in

convincing manner and attractive form. The story reveals originality of plot and masterly handling, and affords the star an agreeable change from the monotonous sameness of some of her recent roles. As the girl student, who ! journeys to the country and wakes up a narrow sleepy village in startling manner, she is immense. The second star features the popular girl Elsie Janis in Selynick’s latest offering “A I Regular Girl,” It’s a story of your pal and mine. In even- way she’s “A Re- ' gular Girl.” and you’ll know the mean- : ing of pep and personality when you see 1 syncopated Elsie Janis in this story i with a surprise in every scene. Elsie Janis has entertained Royalty. More than that—she has t .ntertained the jaded throngs of three nations. Far more than that—she has brought many a smile to the jaded lips of battle-scar-red heroes on the inside of Europe’s fighting lines. Among the soldiers she was always known by her sunny smile and cheery greeting: "Cheerio, Digger.”

Coming Monday: Norma Talmadge in “The Woman Gives” and Larry Semon in his latest big success “School Days” one long laugh.

To-night at the Westland Opera Mouse, the Peoples Pictures present Tom Mix in his newest William Fox production, in which he marks "tip another winner. Not only does the star hold his audience spellbound and make it gasp in amazement at his new stunts, but lie has a photoplay that is a genuine “corker.” “The Terror” io a story of the rush for gold in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and the picture, without question, is the most thrilling Mix has done this season. He is seen as flat Carson, a Deputy United States Marshal who' goes to the town of Sonora to investigate mysterious leakages to gold whilo on its way from mine to town. Carson runs down the thieves, one of whom is the Sheriff of Sonora and the other the owner of the dance hall. He also wins a beautiful bride as a reward. The manner in which the intrepid Carson traps the thieves in the mountains when they attempt to hold up a gold shipment furnishes one of the biggest thrills of the picure.
