AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARD’S PICTURES. On Monday next Pollards are presenting “Tie Rivers End” recommended more especially for adult audiences. It is a mighty achievement for the motion picture. “Weight of bodies were upon him; yellow hands clutched for his' throat; he felt hot breaths and heard ! throaty cries. A madness of horror possessed him, that was like the blind madness of struggling in the coils of a giant serpent. He was not fighting men, but monsters—yellow, foul-smell-ing, inhuman. As if it had been a cane , he snapped th 4 Lone of the arm that I was throttling him; he twisted back a head until it snapped between its should j ors; he struck and broke with a blind j fury and giant strength, until he at ’ Inst, torn and bloodstained reached ' door!” That’s one scene—you may ! think it is exaggerated—it isn’t. It’s, j from James Olliver Curwood’s stirring. I tale of the Royal Mounted Police—wov- ' en by the magic touch of Marshall Noil--1 an, who directed “Pinty” and “Go and ! Get It” into a screen triumph. “The River’s End” featuring Lewis Stone, Margery Daw, Jane Novak. Barney Sherry. Its Neilan’s best and Cnrwood’s finest. What finer guarantee can we give you of its super-excel-lence? A P.atho Gazette and an Educa- | tion film dealing with scientific fish t

I farming. Thousands of fish are bred yearly in a huge hatchery at Hackntts- ! town, New Jersey. Developing the 1 eggs in large troughs, young salmon after one year are about nine inches long and are then seined out and put in the i streams. Pollards Symphony Orchestra will play a selected programme. j McLEAN’S PICTURES. j At the Princess Theatre this evening Mr McLean will present the star attraction Priscilla Dean in the five reel Universal “The "Wicked Darling”.
