POLLARD’S PICTURES.
JAMES OLIVER CURWOOD’S FAMOUS STORY TO-NIGHT.
Some of the most exciting scenes and beautiful settings ever screened are shown in Marshall Neilan’s latest feature “The River’s End,” from the story by James Oliver Curwood. The picture is set in the far North regions of Canada where men meet life with that primitive element of man-strength. Tn this picture the work and ideals of the Northwest Mounted Police are vividly brought home by the manner in which Lewis Stone plays the arduous dual rob of Keith, the hunted and Connister the hunter. Among the thrilling, scenes of the picture there is a fight in n Chinese opium den in which the hero makes good use of jujitsu and short work of a gang of Chinamen. The picture is powerful, exciting and full of dramatic situations. Marjory Daw and Jane Novak are the feminine stars of this constellation of artists. It is a smashing drama of God’s Country, bf the snow wastes of the frozen North of the edge of civilisation, where there are no traditions and nfen meet all the strength of soul within thOm. virile men who may be good or bad, but whatever they are, they aVe strong. The latest Pathe Gazette and a special educational film dealing with scientific fish farming will also be shown. Pollard’s Symphony Orchestra will play a selected programme.
