PARAMOUNT THEATRE.
Always orlgnt'and quaintly amusing. Colleen Moore Is at her best in "Orchids and Ermine," which was screened at the jParamount Theatre last evening for the first time. The story tells of. a little hotel telephone operator who falls in love with a millionaire travelling Incognito as bis own valet. It contains the maximum of laughs. Jack Mulhall plays opposite her as the pseudo valet, and there are some amusing love scenes In a driving rain on the top of a Fifth avenue 'bus. Amusing, too, are the scenes where the girl at the flower counter teaches Colleen how to vamp men, and how the wealthy may with very little trouble be separated from orchids, ermines, and diamonds. New York's largest hotel. It would seem from the settings, must have been used to produce the interior scenes, which are on a lavish scale. Broadway, Fifth avenue, and Riverside drive form an Interesting background to the outdoor action. There is a good supporting programme, including a gazette and a comedy and the orchestra, under the direction of Mr! Robert Caulton, plays excellent incidental music.
