POLLARD’S PICTURES.

TO-NIGHT. To-night, the mighty drama of women’s hearts “Man—Woman —Marriage” will be presented by Pollards, at the Princess Theatre. The production is a First National Attraction directed by Allen Holubnr and starring Dorothy Phillips, this production has been aptly termed a mighty milestone in motion pictures. There could be no better name for a picture that is at once a wonderful romance and drama of mother-right, told from a woman’s heart, and combined with vast spectacular moments wherein thousands of actors, pagan dancers and barbaric beauties, participate. Untrammelled orgies .in the Courts of Caesar are contrasted with society life of t-o-day; the fights of the Amazons of old who went plunging bare-legged, bare-armed, barechested into battle with the men, are contrasted with the battle of our women against the shackles of man-made marriage and man-made divorce. The story is told in ino unforgettable acts, and there is not a moment of them which does not carry heart-appeal, breath-taking thrill, tensest drama, delightful humour, or inspiring vastness. What docs the future hold for millions of women? The big problem of the preponderance of women as an aftermatch of the war must be solved. There is a solution in Allen Holubai’s drnmi' eternal, “Man-Woman-Marri-age.”
