AMUSEMENTS.
POLLARD’S PICTURES. In the Opera House Pollard’s will present a big double star feature programme in “The Love Cheat,” and “The Money Changers.” June Caprice and Creighton Hale, both favourite film stars who have achieved much popularity through their striking team work, are seen in “The Love Cheat,” an adapt at on of a clever French com-edy-drama. Typically romantic, the story of a rich girl and a poor artist, the co-stars have roles that are eminently fitted to their talents. “The Money Changers,” the all-star Hamp-ton-Pathe feature is not a crook play, nor a drama of high finance, nor a Chinese play, but it is a study deftly combining all three in a powerful story of New York that takes in alike the glittering splendour of the richest city’s highest society ami the colourful, mysterious, drug laden atmosphere of the Oriental underworld. Based on (the theme of Mr Sinclair’s famous novel “The Money Changers,” the story revolves around a man’s greed for money. A respected member of society and president of a big drug company, and it was not known that he was also the leader of a ring of drug traffickers. At a cost of the souls of men and women he grew rich with money that bought an illicit drug. The plot of “The Money Changers” unmasks the hypocrite and brings about, a turning point toward happiness and three romances.
