POLLARDS PICTURES. | To-night in the Opera House I’ol- | lard s will present to picture patrons the big problem picture “The World Aflame ’ and the roaring farce comedy “Hand to Mouth’’ featuring Harold Lyold. “The World Aflame” is a picture dealing with the capital versus labour pxoolem starring Fiank Keenan. It is no preachment either on behalf of capital or labour. It tells the story of how an aggressive and forceful Mayor checkmated an incipient revolution in his city and pointed out fo both employers and employees alike how, by “getting together” in brotherly fashion all of their differences might be amicably adjusted. On to-morrow (Sunday) evening “Cinderella’s Twin” a special Metro picture featuring Viola Dana and Wallace M’Donald, in a charmign story with a Cinderella motive, but which is actually a sensational melodrama dealing with a gang of notorious jewel thieves who us e the pretty little scullery maid as their catspaw in society will be presented by Pollard’s in the Opera House.
