AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARD’S PICTURES. CHARLIE CHAPLIN-.. Tlio Princess Theatre last night held about the largest crowd St would be possible to pack in to it when Pollard’s presented Charlie Chaplin in “The Kid.” From before seveh o'clock there was a continuous stream of people and before the pictures started there was one continuous hum of expectation from the great crowd of youngsters that filled the stalls. There were some topical pictures before the big film was commenced, whiclr opened with a sad event full of pathos that kept the young portion of the audience quiet, but they nearly lifted the roof with a welcome yell when Charlie came in sight walking in his inimitable way down the street. ' Thereafter the audience were either convulsed or held in rapt.attention following the course of the six reel comedy Full of humor 'with a capital moral running through it, the picture gave great pleasure to the audience, while the youngsters will have much to talk of about their picture hero and the wonderful child who gave such an artistic sotting to the whole production. Perhaps the must attractive incidents were those of the feeding of the baby in his attic home, pancake day, the happy comedy of Charlie and the policeman's wife, the heartbroken child when torn away from his home. Charlie’s utterly worn and exhausted attitude after his fruitless search and the final vision on the doorstep.

FINAL APPEARANCE TO-NIGHT Charlie Chaplin in “The Kid” will he repeated to-night for the last time here, and to all picture lovers we have one piece of advice—“ Don’t miss it I Its reputation as one of the finest comedies is fully borne out.
