POLLARD’S PICTURES.

HOlllllMY PROGRAMME

On Easter Monday, Pollards will present to Hokitika patrons in the Princess Theatre, a Mammoth Holiday Triple Star Programme screening the gigantic masterpiece “Madonnas and Men” a startling and cyclonic drama of Rome and New York and two clever and really funny farce comedies in “A 'Fjresh Staijtf o —the first of the now famous “Mermaid” Pictures and “Solid Concrete” another good Larry Semon comedy. “Madonnas and Men” is daring in its theme, illustrating the lust, debauchery and cruelty to women as depicted in the scenes of

midnight revels in the tottering days of Rome and in the midnight revels of modern New York. No better programme of pictures has beenn placed before a Hokitika, audience—starting with the Gazette, every picture for photography—incident, fun and story stands in the front rank, and:, will challenge comparison into anything; yet screened, Pollards usual prices will be charged.

HOTJDAY PROORAMME. On next Wednesday (race night), Pollards will present the famous world-wide illusionist, “Levante” in conjunction with the cyclonic drama of the air “Sky Eye.” Levante is well and favourably known to Hokitika patrons who will remember that during last year he submitted himself to he handcuffed, leg-ironed and chained, and in this helpless condition he leaped into the Grey River and made his escape whilst beneath the surface. Levn.nte presents a programme of new illusions and effects. His pieoe-de-rc-sistanoe is “Vivisection, or Sawing a Human in Halves.” This sensational illusion is performed upon a fully lighted stage and under conditions that leaves very little to the imagination. The first part will he devoted to the screening of “Sky Eye,” a picture tha.t can he classed as a cyclonic air romance of death—really a drama of the clouds, unique in plot and startlino action presenting a. whole squadron of aeroplanes in action. Great thrilling scenes never before seen on any screen all woven into ;> beaufiful love story. Prices mil he T).C. 2s fid ; Front Stalls 2s; Back Seats, Is; all plus tux.
