PARAMOUNT THEATRE.

Henry B. Walthall appears to-day at the Paramount Theatre in "The Face onthe Bar-room Floor," a sensation picture directed by Jack Ford. The cast is a notable one, and includes Ruth Clifford, Walter Emerson, Frederick Sullivan, Alma Bennett, Novel M'Gregor, 1 and others of equal standing. The story is quite new, and the plot quite out of the ordinary. An artist has been wrongfully accused of the downfall of a fisher girl, and seeks solace in drink. He becomes a habitue of "Joe's Place," a noted New York saloon of pre-prohibition days, and there slowly goes down the hill that leads to entire forgetfulness. One night he sees a pavement artist executing crude drawings on the walls, and his love of art rises in rebellion, and, seizing palette and brush, he paints in frenzied haste with the power he was once capable of. Finally he paints the face of the girl he loved on the bar-room floor. She also had believed' him false, but happening to arrive just as he had finished the painting, she realises his faith and all ends happily. The supporting picture is "Good-bye, Girls," in which' William Russell and Carmel Myers play the lead. Excellent minor films are shown, and a fine musical programme accompanies the pictures.-
