PARAMOUNT THEATRE.
An Affair of tho Follies," to be screened at tho Paramount Theatre to-day, should be a distinct screen hit. Blllic Dove is cast as a Follies dancer who marries a flfty-dollar-per-weck clerk and relinquishes her career for life In a cottage—or a flat. Lloyd Hughes appears a3 the husband. Lewis Stone is a wealthy broker who admires the heroine and tries to win her love. The play retains a situation which caused tho original short story to make Its name. Three men, the principals, lunch at adjoining tables in a chop house dally for months, without learning ono another*' names An introduction might have averted the dramatic tangle of their lives, but It is not brought about until too late. Intlmato scenes of the Follies and of other phases, elaborate or simple, of New York life, lend realism as well as beauty. An exceptional supporting programme Includes latest Kngllsh topical, comedy, and rathe Review. Tho muslc.-u programme by the Orchestra Paramount, under • the direction' of Mr. Robert Caulton, will be a featuro of tho entertainment. The box plan is at the theatre. Theatro booking office open from 10 a.m. daily.
