AMUSEMENTS.
POLLARD’S PICTURES.
GRAND DOUBLE STAR PROGRAMME THURSDAY.
“The American Beauty,” as Katherine MacDonald, newest of leading film stars has been called, will be seen in her latest photoplay “The Beauty Market,” at the Princess Theatre on Thursday night. Coming close to the heels of “The Thunderbolt,” which established Miss MacDonald firmly in the minds of the public as a talented actress as well as a real beauty, “The Beauty Market” cannot fail to please. She is shown as a society butterfly, who is deliberately placing herself on the matrimonial market in the hope of selling her beauty to a rich man who can and will give her the luxuries she thinks essential to her happiness. However, unlike the usual story of this sort, she does so without compunction and with no misgivings. The plot is unusual in this respect. In support of Miss MacDonald is Roy Stewart and other well known players including Robert Brower and Kathleen Kirkham.
The supporting picture, “The Secret of the Hills,” starring Antonio Moreno is a VitagrapTi special feature. It is a stirring photoplay of mystery, love, and romance starring Antonio Moreno and Lillian Hall. The tale has been elaborately produced and there are mfiny spectacular sets. The London fog scenes, the cave scenes and those laid in Scotland are particularly impressive. The unusual twists of the story are of a nature that holds the attention uptil the final closeout. The Orchestra will supply the music for this great programme.
