AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARB'S PJCTURES. “THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS” MONDAY. Unstinted praise greets the big Mgpriee Tourneur production of Feniipprp Cooper’s famous Leather Stocking tale brings out some, thrilling episodes that will make every red-blooded man grip the arms of his seat in the theatfe. From the very start of the mystery, Tourneur, with bis artistry, carries his audience back to the days when America was young. Indians’ crafty deceit starts cold chills running up and down the spine. The attack on the fort, the massacre, the blowing up of the powder magazines—everything—combine to make this feature one of the I notable ones in the career of Maurice Tourner. The gentle love of TJncas for the paleface maiden, and her regard for him, and the way the story turns out, eauses one to stop and think. “Tin, last of the Mohicans” is finely visualized by excellent characters with the master hand of Tourneur ever offscreen, guiding them smoothly in their varied actions. The camera work, scepic effects, and wonderously gorgeous settings are all astonishingly beautiful, and the picture is bound to please. It’s for you—for me for everybody! To the old- folks |t brings happy lpepipriep of The otljer days: to the middle-aged—the facers apt] piothers of to-day—it relieves the history of ,their father’s ynut]i. T° the young it is an education—pnd not only that--it

it is the source of the greatest, game that children for generations have played—lndians. A Pa the Gazette and a Christie comedy of two reels entitled “The Seaside Siren” supports this big attraction. On Monday Pollard’s Symphony Orchestra will play a new selection of music.
