POLLARD’S PICTURES.

DOUBLE STAR PROGRAMME TO-NIGHT! TO-NiGHT 11

At the Princess Theatre this evening Pollards are screening a grand double star programme, “Oh, Boy!” and “Cinderella’s Twin.”

As a musical comedy “Oh, Boy” proved one of the enduring successes, and thei screen adaption at the Princess Theatre to-night Has lost not ajot of its attractiveness by its transition to the silent sheet. A hoy and girl at college, secretly married, her aunt and his father both prohibitionists, who accidentally imbibe too freely of the cup that cheers and inebriates, combined with a beauteoiis bevy of chorus girls turned loose in a college town, all tend to provide lightness and breeziness to an already good story. Four prime old favourites of screengoers are seen in the principal roles in June Caprice and Creighton Hale, Zeena Keefe and Flora Finch. Humorous complications abound in this bright comedy. “Oh, Boy,” was adapted from the highly successful musical comedy of the same name by Albert Capellani, one of the foremost screen directors. Delightfully lighthearted and snappy all through, there is good entertainment in every minute oil it. “Oh, Boy!”

The two favourite artists, Viola Dana and Wallace McDonald will he featured in the Metro special picture “Cinderella's Twin,” a wonderful picture having the Cinderella motif, but witha(l a tense and gripping melodrama dealing wih a gang of thieves who use the little scullery maid as their cats paw. This picture has been criticised as the “Wonflerful Picture.
