POLLARD’S PICTURES,

“MAN—WOMAN—MARRIAGE.”

On next Monday evening at the Princess Theatre Pollard’s will present the greatest picture since “Intolerance , Inamely “Man—Woman— Marriage’ ’. This wonderful, picture production stands unparalleled in point of dramatic, spectacular, and human entertainment, with wonderful vistas of the Amazons of old, the pagan Courts of Ancient Rome, the “chivalry” of mediaeval days and the sweeping current that is life to-day. Dorthy Phillips is the woman and .Tames Ivirkwood the man. The drama opens and closes in the present, hut in between come the stone age, the Roman and the mediaeval, admitting of scenes in which thousands of players sweep across the vision. The transition of the lives of David, the man ,and Victoria, the woman, from the present into the remoto past is accomplished with that “art which conceals art”. Thus turning over Life’s pages. David, whether in the present •facing life’s ideals yet succumbing to temptation, or, as Constantine, the pagan emperor, converted to right by the Christian slave, is one and the same, while Victoria, representing Woman, steadily gains place a power through the years by virtue of the high, est attributes of womanhood. A thousand colourful incidents dovetail into this mosiae of the screen, this dramaeternal “Man—Woman—Marriage.”
