PARAMOUNT THEATRE.

Probably the finest acting Mary Pickford has ever done is in "Rosita," her latest United Artists production,"which was screened last evening at the Paramount Theatre to a large and appreciative audience. Th e star portrays a woman grown, , but no less charming than her-portrayals of childhood. As the girl with the guitar, swaying the crowds in the streets of Seville, and then half mad when she thinks her lover has been executed, Miss Pickford ranges , through the emotions with ease and conviction Nor are the touches of wistful humour for which she is famous absent. The screen has shown nothing finer than Mr. Holbrook Blinn's work as the amorous king, who takes his defeats in love gracefully and with a stern sense "of humour. The king is as "near a villain as anybody in the picture. But what a villain! Instead of being the conventional type, he is utterly different.Kosita is a Spanish romance, in which a girl of the lower classes, the idol of the Seville mob, is sought by the Kin" and how she repulses him' and remains steadfast to her sweetheart, who is finally saved from execution. The Paramount orchestra rendered a particularly suitable musical programme. The box plan is at the Utility Stationery Shop next to theatre. ■ ■■
