POLLARD'S PICTURES

HOLDIAY ATTRACTIONS. The first of the holiday special programmes "will be presented at the Opera House this evening. The display includes the 10th series of the serial, "The Adventures of Kathlyn," entitled "The Warrior Maid." Kathlyn. and her sister Minnie carry the story a stage further on through scenes of revolutions and fierce iight^ ing to thef time when Kathlyn is once more separated from her father and is found in a precarious position by. her enemy, the fiendish Umballah. Kalem railway dramas are always good, and "The Little Engineer" is one of the best in plot interest, acting and photo, graphy. Miss Helen Holmes is featured in this exciting photoplay. The Majestic Company are to the fore with a heart vibrating story, told under the title of "Another Chance.," "A Canine Eival," "A Devil of a Honeymoon," "The Bear's Omelette," a screaming Keystone ■ farce comedy, "Hogan's Wild Oats," and selections by Pollard's complete Orchestra, constitute the full purely holiday programme, to be presented on Wednesday evening, the thrilling picture, "London by Day and Night," will be produced for the first time. ARMIES OF EUROPE AT WAR. Mr G. Holmes, the intrepid war photographer, ■will present his unique 8000 feet picture of the "Armies of Europe at War," on next Thursday evening at the Opera House. The pictures are not acted nor dramas, but realistic scenes of battles taken in the actual firing line. Mr Holmes, in conversation, stated that when secreted in a position to take scenes of an. infantry battle, the hum of bullets could be tolerated, but a ghastly sensation, was felt- at the sight of glittering rows of steel (bayonets) advancing., The work of the Red Cross doctors and nurses, the marvellous skill and care bestowed on the handling of the~ wounded on the battlefield, can. only be depicted from the actual firing line, and it is interesting, although gruesome, to see these noble men and women" dressing the ter_ rible wounds of the soldiers after the battle. The lecturer, who vividly describes the scenes, was all through the theatre of Avar and tells some intensely interesting personal experiences.
