POLLARD'S PICTURES.

“SALVATION NELL,” TO-NIGHT. Pollards..are.showing a. special First National feature at the Princess Theatre to-night entitled “Salvation Nell.” Against backgrounds of New York’s lower .East Side and of the splendour of upper Fifth Avenue, Whitman Bennett has produced a : cinema story under , the direction of Kenneth Webh that is wholesome, human and exalting. Few will soon forge the unselfisli and devoted character of “Salvation Nell,” as portrayed by Pauline Starke ; the weakness and ultimate triumph of her lover, Jim Platt, played by Joseph King ; the honest and straightforward figure by 15. T. Langford as Major Williams ; the pluck and persistence of Hallelujah Maggie, portrayed by Evelyn Carrington; the cold and heartless saloon keeper, Sid'Govern, characterised by Charles MacDonald, the snakv and brntal A 1 McGovern, played by Matthew Bets, and the folly of the philosophy of the misguided Myrtle Hawes, portrayed by Gipsy O’Brien. “Salvation Neil” is as true as life itself. Managerial notice :— Again vve toll the truth in advertising “Salvation Nell.” It is with the utmost pleasure that the management announces again a production that hears its personal guarantee of excellence and personal recommendation to the picture public. This is a great picture —a pagj from life that is too often skipped over. It has a great message and a powerful moral. “Salvation Nell” is not propaganda, or an attempt to foist on to an unsuspecting public any one creed or religion. It is simply opening the hook of lite, and it’s message is ticked out by human heart heats. *
