PARAMOUNT AND ARTCRAFT.

A story of the East and West, oi Constantinople and modern America, is told in "The Prophet's Paradise," a film of novel plot, which heads the new bijl at the Paramount and ' Artcraft Theatres. A bored American society man on travel in Europe opens the trouble by buying a Turkish girl, whom he had seen before the sale, arid whose charms had captivated him. In Turkey, to judge by the film, trouble awaits the Westerner who meddles with the slave market, and the girl disappears. The American finds himself involved in a net of cunning intrigue, and seeks advice from the very man who is drawing the net tighter. hTe story works up to an artistic climax, but in the end all is well. Eugene O'Brien is the star,.and he is supported by a cast which includes several of the leading artists of th« screen. The, second attraction is "The Road to Arcady," a story of high finance and the endeavours of ah impoverished family to retrieve their shattered fortunes. In the leading role is Virginia Leo, and she is supported by Harry Benha'm, Roger Little, Julia Swayne, and Hugh Huntley. Other films shown are a topical gazette, an amusing comedy, and pictures of an educational interest. Good music is provided by the orchestra at each theatre. '.'•■■
