"A SAINTED DEVIL."

"HER SISTER FROM PARIS." QUEEN'S THEATRE, TO-DAY. A sophisticated Viennese comedy, radiating the gaiety and carelessness of the waltzing city, is billed for premier attraction at the Queen's Theatre to-day, "Her Sister from Paris," starring Constanco Talmadge and featuring Ronald Colman. This airy story has about it a sparkle and flash associated only with all things Parisian, a piquant romance and original domestic triangle that could be successfully handled only by that queen of comediennes, Constance Talmadge. Appearing first as the domesticated wife, she Inter impersonates her dancing sister from Paris, her objective being to regain her husband's affection, and the amusing and occasionally disastrous developments that follow are all that can be expected from so precarious an adventure. There are entrancing glimpses of the brilliant life of Vienna that is now no more, its music-loving populace, its famous Follies, courtly officers, and. lovely women, and in the midst of this atmosphere of beauty and chivalry whirls "Her Sister from Paris," bent on recapturing her husband. The denouement is astonishingly amusing, both Ronald Colman and Miss Talmadge giving a faultless rendering of roles which might easily have been overdone. The second feature is "A Sainted Devil," starring Rudolph Valentino. The story enacted in the Argentine, where the coulrful surroundings provide an excellent background for the star's particular talent, tho picture devolves into one of the most thrilling romances in which this popular actor has yet appeared, his Latin temperament reacting perfectly to every detail requested of him. His leading lady is Helen d'Algy, a perfect type for the role. The thirteenth episode of "Samson of the Circus" will also be screened. Tho box plans are at Webley's.
