EVERYBODY'S THEATRE.
"The Innocents of Paris," which has returned to Christehurch for a short season. is pervaded , with a strong love theme, interminofled with some very pretty scenes and combined with some mighty melodrama. It is a story of stagecraft, of a junk man who' becomes a celebrated stage artist, and it is essentially a one-man play. . . The cast comprises four mam artists, Sylvia Beeeher. David Russell Simpson, and Maurice Chevalier, ' who has naturally the outstanding part to play. He commands a perfect interpretation of joy and sorrow, and is the master of any situation. The play hat not yet been written which can give Chevalier tho opportunity to display his full powers, but he can always v be counted on to turn the most unpromising material into sparkling dialogue.
