AMUSEMENTS.

| POLLARD'S PSCTURES. . WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY i next. Oil Wednesday next Pollards are pre- : senting popular Olive Thomas in :i Selz- : nick .production entitled “Darling Mine” and supporting this star is a . Topical Budget, “Go As You Please,” comedy, and Educational Weekly. Sentimental and whimsical, brightened u> touches of Celtic humour “Darling Mino” is an ideal vehicle for Olive Thomas, as well as pleasant diversion for the theatre-goer. The picturesque scenes of Ireland, depicted as a land of charming slopes and cottages, where the people treat their four-footed tribe with kindness and affection, furnishes an atmosphere of peace that is in startline contrast with the hurry and hustle ■„f America, whence “Darling Mine” 1 goes to relations. Olive Thomas’ ; beauty is indelibly impressed on one in I the various beautiful scenes, and tier ! delightful humour and acting is a fea- ■ t ure of a pleasing picture. j On Thursday Pollards have pleasure in announcing the screening in this town of a D. \Y. Griffith Feature “The Greatest Question.” a startling drama I that has stirred humanity and made j millions think, greater in theme than ! “The Birth of a Nation" “Intolerance” | “Hearts of the World.” It depicts the i titanic battle between the forces of evil j and good darkness and light—clashing i with a volcanic power that tears the 1 huart-strings, and rends the soul. A ; story of real life and death—treated in 1 a human way, not allegorically. It is ! melodrama, the stern facts of life as ! faced by ittsi folks, everyday people j like you and me, who battle daily for , bread and home and family : wlio give : and suffer: who are joyous and happy: | who despair and hope; sometimes wreck i ed by life’s storms: again caught on the wave of success. Every phase of life as it is lived to-day; as it has tveen lived since time began. The very etfsenre of being! Charlie Chaplin in his fourth million dollar comedy “A Day’s Pleasure” will also he shown. Pol--1 lard’s Symphony Orchestra will supply ; ihe incidental music. I MftLEBN’S PICTURE? ! “ALT, DOLT,ED TTP” TO-NIGHT. i Mr McT.ean presents a great programme on Friday headed by a Universal special starring Gladys Walton in “All Dolled Up.” She’s only a little shop girl, but you “oughta” se© her when she’s “all dolled up.” And there’s lots more to see as well in the society sensation she started.
