PARAMOUNT THEATRE.

> ."The Live Wire" is showing finally tonight at the Paramount Theatre. Johnny Hines, the clever screen comedian, is at his best in this feature, for the action carries him into no end of amusing situations. Also showing aro the de Forest Phonofilma, and this week's subjects give an even greater example of the possibilities of this wonderful invention. The supporting items include the latest Gazette, cartoon, scenic, and a bright musical programme rendered by the Paramount Orchestra. "HER SISTER PROM PARIS."' Constance Talmadge plays her most unique role in "Her Sister From Paris," which will be presented at the Paramount Theatre to-morrow. The story has to do with the exploits of a young and charming—although too thoroughly domesticated —wife who educates her husband into showing his love for her. To do it, she impersonates her own madcap sister from Paris, who has become famous as a dancer. It was necessary to evolve for Miss Talmadge a disguise which would so completely transform her that even her husband would not know her, and at the same time retain enough of her real loveliness so that she looked like herself. In the early part of the. story she appears as a meek little person in housewifely garb, and then suddenly changes into a bizarre, loud, brazen young clancer. In her first character she is unable to hold her husband's love; in her second character she charms him so completely that he even elopes with her, thinking she is her own sister. Miss Talmadge is supported by Ronald Colman, George K. Arthur, Gertrude Claire, and others. The box plan is open at the Utility Stationery Shop, next to the theatre.
