AMUSEMENTS

POLLARD’S PICTURES. To-night, at the Opera House, Pollard’s present Alice Joyce in “The Scarab Ring,” adopted from Harriett Gaylord’s famous novel entitled “The Desperate Heritage.” On next Wednesday evening “Man-Woman-Marriage, ' the most gorgeous, costly and brilliant love story of the ages will be presented. It is with more than ordinary pleasure we announce the presentation of “Maai-WomanMarriage,” the biggest motion picture of the year. It is a picture that is at once a wonderful romance and drama of mother-right and combined with vast spectacular moments wherein thousands of actors, pagan dancers and barbaric beauties, participate. Untrammelled orgies in the courts of Caesar arc contrasted with society life of to-day; the fights of the Amazons of old, who went plunging bare-legged, bare chested into battle with the men, are contrasted with the fight of our women against the shackles of man-made marriage and man-made divorce. You will see Dorothy Phillips as woman triumphant, the mate of a cave man fierce in her love. You will see the girl mother of to-day fighting again, the battle of her and routing _ all forces. The box plan is at The Bristol ’plione 261, wlmre seats may be reserved at Pollard’s usual picture prices.
