PARAMOUNT THEATRE.

Exceptional acting by every member of the cast in the William Fox picture of "The Man Who Came Back," is coupled with a powerful story and an exhibition of direction which is unusual. The picture opened at the Paramount Theatre last night, and it gives every indication of being -a season sensation. George O'Brien and Dorothy Mackaill, in the principal roles, do positively wonderful work in their respective parts as the young ne'er-do-well and his sweetheart of the San Francisco dance halls. While the leads, of course, have the heavy work to do, they arq given the support of an exceptional cast, including Cyj-il Chadwick, as the globe trotting villain who turns out to ho a friendly detective; and Ralph Lewis, as the wealthy father of- the 'blacksueep. The story tells about a young New lorker with more dollars than sense. ■He drifts to the bad in New York and then to worse on San Francisco's old Barbary Coast. There he meets a dance hall girl who really does not care for the life and who does not fit in it. They pull together after that,'owing to a dramatic realisation of their love which offers a scene in which they do some of: the best acting ever-filmed A good comedy and gazette, and the Paramount Orchestra, render good support to ft klt Wrs™ o**0 **- : The box plan it at the theatre.
