PARAMOUNT THEATRE.

Douglas Fairbanks's latest production, "Don Q, Son of Zorro," ; tp. be screened at the Paramount Theatre to-day, contains all that the "Mark of 350rr0" contained, and more. In addition, it contains a fiovelty. The cracking of the long Australian stockwhip, for example, Mr. Fairbanks's skill enabling him to so direct the whip as to cut a paper held in the hand of one of the ciiaracters without injury. The entire picture is dis-' tinctly Fairbanks in style, the kind that no other actor can imitate. His personality permeates the. picture all the way through, giving it a pleasant liveliness. Comedy is not absent>-.nor is human- interest. The spectator is held in tense suspense, too, when the hero's life is placed in jeopardy by the fact that a murder, committed by the villain, is fastened upon him,^ and circumstantial evidence is against him. The action is laid entirely in the attractive and romantic surroundings of Old Spain of about a century ago against backgrounds that are a delight to the eye.- A picturesque romance, the opposition of a villainous soldier, the hero's startling disappearance and . more startling reappearance and vindication, plentifully punctuated with a series of daring and almost impossible exploits, make this about as.bright and delightful an entertainment as be imagined. The. box' plan is at the Utility stationery shop, next to theatre.
