AMUSEMENTS.

POLLARD’S PICTURES. “HIOR UNWILLING HUSBAND” TO-NIGHT. Th© fair beauty and unmistakeable talent of Blanche Sweet as displayed in that bright and snappy eomedy “Her Unwilling Husband” at' thci Princess Theatre are set in goodly circumstances. She has a fine story, well built, with more, than a generous share of humor in situation and dialogue, her rolo gives her every opportunity to shine, and the support tendered by Albert Boscoor and Edwin Stevens only serve to make her latest picture a brilliant success. No ono should miss this bright- little picture. It is well worth -while. The supports to-night are Topical Budget, Chester Outing Scenic, Path© Review and “Artist’s Model” , comedy. On Thursday Pollards are presenting a- special double star programme headed by a grand British .Stoll Production “The Dying Detective” (Sherlock Holmes), and a big four reel Alack. Sennett comedy entitled “Home Tal- 1 ont” starring Ben Turpin.

STRASBURG CT-OCK. EXHIBITION. Human ingenuity has accomplished much that is truly wonderful but it would be difficult to imagine anything cleverer of its kind than that miracle of automatic mechanism—the Strasburg Clock, now being exhibited in Keller’s Sample Rooms next to Perry's store. All the astronomical and scientific dials are reproduced on this wonderful model exactly as on the great original and the whole of the wondrous workings of the model are thoroughly explained by a very capable lecturer. The procession of the Apostles, the a;>-pearain-o of the Saviour, the visitation of Satan, and all the numerous mechanical movements occur each quarter of an hour. The model will be on exhibition all this week, Saturday .next being positively 'Die last day. This will afford country residents an opportunity of seeing this wonder. Hours of exhibition arc afternoons from 2 till 5. nights from 7 till 10.
