ENTERTAINMENTS

PARAMOUNT THEATRE. "Morals For Men. is screening for the last time at the Paramount Theatre this evening. The theme concerns not only morals for men but morals for every married person, whether husband or wife. Conway Tearle and Agnes Ayros have the leading roles, and the cast is excellent. The programme includes a Topical Budget, Pathe Review, and an hilarious comedy, "The Darkest Hour," while the Paramount Solo Orchestra of ten players excels with the overture, "Poet and Peasant," and Hoffenbach's charming "Night of I Love" as an entr'acte. i "WHY WOMEN LOVE." First National's "Why Women Love," opens'at the Paramount Theatre to-mor-row. 'Fascinating in its story development as in its pictorial phases, it will hold the audience in a spell until the sensational climax—the tragic collapse of a lighthouse on the Baltimore coast. Blanche Sweet wins new admirers with her performance in this offering. I.he has an admirable foil in Robert Frazer, and an astonishingly finished performance is given by Dorothy Sebastian, a comparative newcomer to the screen. From the moment that Blanche Sweet in the part of Molla Hansen jumps from the taffrail of her father's vessel, an oil tanker, to rescue Bud O'Malley, played by ivobert Frazer, moves dramatic intensity. The love of Molla for Rod is epic, the burning of the oil tanker at sea a scene of beauty, the merciless utilisation of the wayward beauty of the lighthouse keeper's daughter by the unscrupulous rum-runner is dramatic, and the elemental fury of the final catastrophe is fairly breath-taking. Willard Robertson is the author of the story, which was adapted from his stage success, "The Sea Woman." The box plan is at the Utility Stationery Shop, next to the theatre.
