PLAZA THEATRE.
« NIGHT AFTER NIGHT." In "Night Alter Night," the Paramount production which heads an attractive bill at tho Plaza Theatre this week, the happening at a superior speakeasy, at times tiinllinsly dramatic, and at others sparkling with higft comedy, and all the time gay and interesting, provide an entertainment with a plot that opens quietly but developa on unexpected lines and culminates dramatically. George Raft, hailed by some as Rudolph Valentino's ouocesßor, is Job Anton, former pugilist, but now propnotor of a night club housed in a onc'tuno pri* vato mansion, a part that gives him great scope for his varied talents. Opposite him plays Constance Cummings as Miss Healey, the mysterious society woman who is attracted night after night, to tho speakeasy. She is ably seconded by Mae West, who takes the character of a breezy proprietress of a chain of beauty parlours. Wynne Gibson provides some dramatic! moments as one of Anton's cast-off loves. Constance Cummings has beauty and charm, and natural and graceful methods. Alison Skipworth as Sirs Mabel Jellyman, has the job of giving polish to the ex-pugilist. Ro3coe Karn3 is Anton's man and bodyguard. The first part of the programme is pleasinprly varied and includes "Betty Boop'a Upa and Downs."
