AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARD’S PICTURES. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. Little Dillio Rhodes makes a fascinating offering in ‘‘The Girl of My Dreams,” showing at the Princess Theatre on Wednesday night. In this feature she essays the role of “The Weed,” and is portrayed as the innocent young child of nature, paddling about in secluded mountain pools with only her long hair and nature’s costume as a shield. The keynote of “The Girl of My Dreams” is happy comedy, for Miss Rhodes is at her best in the comedy vein, and the proudest boast of her myriad admirers is that Miss Rhodes’ comedy is really and truly funny, without a trace of vulgarity. In this new picture little Billie has used her invariably good judgment about the high spots, and the result is a thoroughly acceptable product. A Topical Budget and a two reel comedy will also be shown. On Thursday “A Broken Doll,” the new Allan Dwnn comedy drama, is the story of a chap who finds himself in the most amazing situations with but one fear in his heart—the wrath of a

little girl whose doll he haplessly broke. Tn a frantic effort to replace it. he finds himself with the crimes of theft, murder and arson piling up against him, hut he has only one objective—the village store where ho can buy a new doll. The picture is packed with laughs and original twists and thrills, for the troubles that beset the hero are as exciting as they are amusing. The hero is played by that sterling actor, Monte Blue, who is one of the most winning screen actors ever seen. Mary Thurman is happily cast in the role of a vigorous outdoor girl, who goes out hunting ■ bandits, and little Mary Jane Irving plays the child «f the story in appealing fashion. The supports are ’’Short and Snappy,” two reel comedy. Gnumont Graphic and scenic.
