"IRENE."
A musical comedy, irrespective of what success it may have achieved before the footlights on Broadway, is a difficult subject to register properly on the scrten, but in the case of "Irene/- Colleen Moore's latest First National production, to be screened at the Paramount Theatre to-morrow, there is, according to Alfred E. Green, the director, so much colour, together with a perfect story, running through the episodes, that it is going to be hailed as something extraordinary wherever shown. Miss Moore has made the fashion show the highlight of the picture. Art directors have given the star and her company, which, besides the many principals, \ includes sixty of Hollywood s most beautiful model-actresses, some exceptionally attractive, and massive settings. The fashion episode is filmed in a giant garden set several hundred feet in width. From a grand marble staircase, decorated with imposing pieces of statuary, the girls appear, wearing costumes depicting the four seasons of the year. There are laughs aplenty in the story, particularly the sequences in which Madame Lucy, enacted by George K. Arthur" and Miss Moore appear. Lloyd Hughes plays Collen's leading man. A gorgeous "Irene" prologue has been arranged by Miss Kathletjn O'Brien, to be enacted by her pupils, preceding the picture presentation each evening. All the glorious "Irene" musical score will be rendered by the Paramount Orchestra. The box plan is at the Util,ity Stationery Shop, next .to the theatre.
