PARAMOUNT THEATRE
The new star film to be shown at the Paramount Theatre to-night is quite out of the ueual order of things of picture plays. The title is "The Call of the East," and tho plot is laid in Japan, the leading part being entrusted to the Eopular Japanese actor, Seesue Hayaawa. The story is laid amongst beau-' tiful Japanese scenery of coast, mountain, and forest, and the plot is full enough of romantic adventure to satiety the meet exacting. The hero is a. halfcaste Japanese-American named Hepburn, who falls in love with and abducts the sister of a Japanese Count. Matters are complicated by the arrival of Hepburn's eister Sheila, who feels the "ca.ll of the East" in her blood, and becomes enamoured of the Count. The scene of action is transferred to an island which Hepburn has thought to be a secure retreat, but which proves to contain the Count's ancestral ca6tle. The plot naturally thickens, but after some exciting incidents in the castle dungeons matters are satisfactorily settled.
