AMUSEMENTS

POLLARD’S PICTURES. “Saved from the Sea” the fine old English drama that is to be screened by Pollard’s at the Opera House for to-night only is a picture that will appeal to the eye, will bring a smile to the lip and a sob to the throat and staged amid the natural beauties of Cornwall. To-morrow (Friday) and Saturday evening and at the matinee commencing at 2 p.m. on Saturday afternoon a great racing drama “A Dead Certainty” by Nat Gould will be the star attraction. First past the post, and lengths ahead of all its contemporaries is the English production “A Dead Certainty,” starring Gregory Scott and Poppy Wyndham, who are among the most popular stars of today. The story is by that King of all sporting writers, Nat Gould. The great race is one of the most thrilling ever screened, and no fakes or substitutes are provided in the racing scenes —the race is a race with riders and horses striving to the utmost to win. No lovers of the sport, and especially those hundreds of thousands who have read with delight Nat Gould’s great stories should miss this production, which will provide an hour’s most thrilling entertainment. MANDL’S HALL, BLACKBALL. Pollard’s present at Mandi’s Hall, Blackball on to-morrow (Friday) even, ing Blanche Sweet in the big Pathe feature “Help Wanted—Male!” Blanche Sweet is in this attraction, no longer the wistful star but a pretty, peppy young widow bent on discovering an unsuspecting male to share her sorrows. On Saturday evening a powerful dramatic and a truly funny comedy picture are to be screened. The star picture “Half a Chance” is an adaptation, of the well-known novel by Frederick S. Isham and the screen version makes one of the finest dramas ever seen. Comedv and funny comedy is presented by Larry Semon in his latest and best “The Baker.”
