POLLARD’S PICTURES. GABY DESLYS IN ••THU GOD OF LUCK.” TO-NIGHT. Pollards have pleasure in presenting to-night the popular Gaby Deslys in “The God of Luck.’ It is a production that for pure artistry of setting and retention of interest would be hard to improve on, even were it not the latest starring vehicle for the bewitching Gabv Deslys, whose brilliance and fascination captured three continents. It is the real Gaby who is seen in the picture—• as she was in real life, and when one sees the wonderful dancing scenes with her partner Harry Pilcer, one no longer wonders whether the delectable Gaby was as attractive as fame would have her. The brilliant, extravagant yetfascinating child of nature infuses her own self into a character of the Gaby of the story, making il appealing and convincing to a degree. Several scenes were filmed at the fashionable French .watering-place, Deauville, and the famous course where [''ranee’s Derby, the Grand-Piix, is run. A l*athe Gazette and educational scenic will also be shown. Patrons to Pollards Pictures are reminded of the re-appenranee ill Hokitika of Carrie Laiicclcv ami her Musical next.
