POLLARD’S PICTURES.

A FIRST NATIONAL PRODUCTION MONDAY.

Charles Ray in “Nineteen and Phyllis,” will be the attraction at th© Princess Theatre on Monday night. This is Mr Ray’s third release since becoming an independent star and producer, and in view of the remarkable success which attended his initial independent productions, keenest interest is being manifested in' this his latest production. “Ninteeen and Phyllis” is from the original story, and is one of the very best vehicles yet provided for this young star. In this most recent production Ray again makes something of a departure from his customary “rube” roles, this time appearing in the part of a small town dandy wearing up-to-the minute mail order house raiment. The production is perhaps more fittingly described as a. comedy of youth, for in it Ray appears as a nineteen-year-old lad And ’opposite him in tho leading feminine role is demure Clara Horton, who is herself only sixteen years old. The photoplay is iepl.ete with amusing situations, and one of these strangely enough has to do with Mr Ray’s capture of a burglar. The finished production, according to all reports and indications, is one of the best Ray films ever offered to the public. Th© latest Pathe Gaz ette and a two-reel Vitagraph comedy completes the hill of fare for Monday.
