PARAMOUNT THEATRE.
The vaudeville and picture programme at the Paramount Theatre this week is one of the best seen here for some time. Announced as pantomimists extraordinary, the Hanlon Brothers earn this title during a wonderful novelty act, "The Hotel Impossible," which is just one mad whirl of laughter and excitement. The "mirror" dance in which one of the brothers faithfully copies the minutest detail of the other until he proceeds to light, a cigarette, is a fine piece of mimicry, and thoroughly deserved the applause it received. The whole act concludes with a disconcerting dream by one of two page boys at the hotel. He sees the figure of death, which pursues him relentlessly at every turn. The climax to the performance is a particularly fine pioc-e of stagecraft. The screen version of Lincoln ,7. Carter's melodrama, "The Eleventh Hour," is the main feature on the . picture part of the programme. The supporting items are of an exceptional order, and the Paramount Orchestra, contributes pleasing incidental music.
