POLLARD’S PICTURES. “f}ER LOUD AND AfASTER” ANJ) NEW SERI4L TO^IPHT. “Her Lord arid Master,” a play of American and British life and manners by Affiftha Morton, one of the first' Women dramatists to achieve success, furnishes Alice Joyce with a vehicle that is sure to command attention. The version starred Mffio Shannon and the late Herbert Kelcey. Tt received warm praise when produced on Broadway, and it is a tribute to the insight of the author that the play is just as fresh and timely to-day as when first put on. It gives Alice Joyce' a typo of role entirely new to her. She takes the part of a girl who lived all her life in the middle west, imbued with the breezy atmosphere viewpoint of the country and people around her, and goes her way absolutely untrammelled by tradition or cenyeption. It is this engaging figure around which the story moves. What happens when she runs up against the world of standards and conventions in aristocratic British society forms the fascinating theme of plot development. As a back ground there is a keen and extremely interesting study ot contrasts between Anlarican" and British viewpoints. The latest Gaumont Graphic and a two-reel Christie comedy “Red Hot Lpvjj!’ and the first episode of the new serial “Hidden Dangers” will also be shown.
