AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARD’S PICTURES. “NOT GIJTLTY. ’’ —MONDAY. Patrons of the Princess Theatre who have read Harold McGrath’s well-known novel “Parrot and Co.”, are promised a rare treat this week in “Not Guilty” the screen adaptation of that novel. The feature is from the First National Studios, and is one of the screen’s finest stories. Sylvia Brenmer is in the leading role. The plot is an unusual one and involves twin brothers who love the same woman and are both loved by her. One of the brothers commits "a crime and his twin changes identity with the guilty brother. Then events follow with rapid sequence. The innocent brother goes to India, the land of “brilliant days and purple nights,” where the lure of the tropical Fast soothes the hopes and the hearts of the civilised West. Then by* coincidence the girl visits India. Then love winds through a veritable jungle of tense situations to an amazing climax. An extra special Two Peel Mermaid Comedy entitled “Nonsense.” and the Pathe Gazette completes one of the strongest programmes ever shown in Hokitika. The Orchestra will play the incidental music.

McLEAN’S PICTURES. “THE FURNACE”—TO-NIGHT. “The Furnace,” William D. Taylor’s new special production for Paramount. which will lie shown to-night is declared to ho one of the richest pictures in spectacular scenes and lavish settings which has been viewed for some time past. Replicas of both the int# rior and exterior on St. Mary's Church in Lon don were constructed for the big wedding scenes and many sumptuous English society functions were staged. These include a house party, a lavish garden fete and a gorgeous carnival dance. The interior of the famous hotel at Monte Carlo was also duplicated for certain scenes in the honeymoon sequence. A big land slide Is another detail that adds zest to a stunning storm scene. “Is it nothing to you?” • This inscription stands out in a stained glass window design of Christ on the Cross placed at the roar of the altar in St. Mary’s, Condon, where Folly Vail.nice, actress, is married to Anthony Bond. Canadian millionaire. It sets the motif for the "hole piece- an appeal for sincerity in the marriage relationship. A super, fashionable wedding; i( wonderful honeymoon; a country place; a town mansion; unlimited wealth everything was as ashes to both bride and groom because jealousy, suspicion. a iid the artificiality of modern society life had driven out the saving grace of love. Another star features features Harold Lloyd, in “Among Those Present.” This is the latest and funniest picture you have over seen.. The fourth chapter of “Thunderbolt Jack” will also be shown.
