POLLARD’S PICTURES.

On next Wednesday evening, only. Pollards present, at the Opera House, the most lavish and latest production starring Clara Kimball Young, in “Hush” taken from the fascinating story of the same name, by Sada Cowan. Here is a picture which presents the incomparable screen favourite at her very best. She rises to ccstacy in the role of Vera, much loved and greatly misunderstood. Dedicated to the women who tell too much of their past that should lie forgotten. Thousands of dollars worth of the newest creations in dresses, gowns, and mil linery, tho triumph of New York and Parisian modistes, are worn by Clara Kimball Young in the delightful pro duction, “Hush.’’ Sada Cowan’s daring drama is dedicated to all women who tell their husband’s too much. CHARLIE CHAPLIN AND “THE KID.” TO-NIGHT. To-night and Tuesday night and also at the matinee commencing at 3.30 pan., after school hours, on Tuesday afternoon at the Opera House, Charlie Chaplin’s niillion-dollar production with the world’s greatest boy, Jackie Coogan as “The Kid” will be screened. The Christchurch “Sun” says: “It is the. most conspicuously success ful programme- ever offered.” “The Kid” Associated First National's sixreels of joy, is more Charlie Chaplin than has ever been put in one picture before for. in addition to being six full reels in length, the story was written by the comedian himself. He directed it himself and plays the leading role. Jackie Coogan, one of the greatest finds ever made, in the. search for boys with real acting ability plays tho title role. The story carries so much delicious humor that in the hands of an ordinary actor it would be a co-medy-hit, but with Chaplin in the role of the foster father of “The Kid” the production is the fastest laugh sustainer that has ever been issued in the form of a motion picture. It is desired ly designated as First National’s six reels of joy. The prices of admission are: Dress circle 2/-. stalls .1/-, plus tax. Scats may be reserved at the Bristol, ’phone 261, free of extra payment. Pollard’s orchestra will render appropriate selections for the screening of Charlie Chaplin’s six reels of joy. At tho matinee on next Tuesday afternoon children will be admitted to all parts of the theatre for 6d each, adults being tho same price as at night.
