PLAZA THEATRE.
"NIGHT AFTER NIGHT."
Well equipped with an amusiDg and modern story and a cast that would do honour to any film or stage play, "Night After Night, the Paramount production which wrt start to-day at the Plaza Theatre, presents something new and surprisiug in screen a very palatable concoction of sophistication and naivete, tach one of tle characters in the "tory is worthy of that description. For example, take Joe Anton the role played by George Raft. ,A loimer pugilist, and now owner of a luxurious night, club, Joe has all the ""ground and. habits of the bumptious knOw-al!, insolent type But notice him with Miss Jellyman, the, school teacher who comes every day to teaon nim to talk and behave like a gentleman• *»«» ho becomes no more than a naive «<*oolboy, standing in humble awe of the superior Knowlse andculture of this dowdy middlo-aged woman who has never had much fun in me. And the same delightful mixture nf sophistication and naivete, so common in Human nature, is found in all the other characters as well as in the story itself. The cast ,h a perfect one for the story which it has to act; there being, betide Raft. OosfnnceGumming*. Alison Skipworth, Wynne Gibson, and Man West.
