POLLARD’S PICTURES.

ANITA STEWART MONDAY. What is considered one of the leading pictures of tho year is “Sowing the Wind.” This is one of First National’s Big Five, and presents Anita Stewart in the heist role of her career. The offering is an adaption of Sydney Grundy’s story, and contains all the elements which go to make up a modern picture of ceaseless action. Miss Stewart by her finished performance in her portrayal of the character of an innocent girl whose mother is a “queen” of revellers in a notorious gun L’ : ng house, comm ends hearty..sympathy. The stow takes up the obstacles an evil fate may place in the way of a human being, before happiness can result permanently. The nj£st interesting phase of the story hinges upon the l girl meeting the man of her heart and her subsequent battles to have and to hold him despite her maternal antecedent. The picture throbs with strong dramatic scenes which are capably interpreted by a cast that deserves special commendation. Ralph Lewis, Myrtle Stedman, James Morrison and M illinm V. Mong handle roles most acceptably. “Sowing the Wind” is a photoplay which is said to he' thoroughly diverting in character. It is a study in the weaknesses and virtues of mankind. Tho supports are.
