PARAMOUNT THEATRE.
"The Man Who Came Back," coupled with a. powerful story and an exhibition of direction which is unusual, is being screened daily this week at the Paramount Theatre. George. O'Brien and Dorothy Mackaill, in the principal roles, do positively wonderful work in their respective parts as the young no'er-do-well and his sweetheart of the San Francisco dance halls. The story tells about a" young New Yorker with more dollars than- sense. He drifts to the bad in New Yorfi 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 a really fine programme. The box plan it at the theatre.
