Ho is included In a group' of waiters at a fashionablo party, aud 'ho decides to become a waiter and guest at the same time. Ho confides to Dorothy that ho will amuse the guests by protending to be a waiter. This is a most laughable phase. Tho programmo Includes excellent supports, aud tho orchestra supDllcs good music. "Tho Triumph of tho Rat," to be screened at the Paramount Theatre to-morrow, is the sequel to "The Rat," a British masterpiece which was screened at. this theatre nearly a year ago. "The Triumph of the Hat" was produced by the same director as "The Rat," Graham Cutts. Ivor Novell, and Isabel Jeans aro again featured. Tho story deals with further adventures of that notorious character, "The Rat," played by Ivor Novello, who repeats his former triumph. Isabel Joans as Zclie de Chaumet gives -a very flue performance. Plerro Boucheron, the famous Apache leader, known as "The Rat," now in society, is in league with Zelie de Chaumet, who, in her turn is in league with Henry Mertcveau, who keeps her supplied with abundant funds in order that she may keep her place in society. Pierre makes a wager that he will win the lovo of Madeleine de L'Orme (a society beauty) in a month. He succeeds, but also falls In love with Madeleine, and decides to run straight. Zelie hoars of this, aud is so infuriated that she uses all her influence to ruin Pierre by keeping him out of employment, finally getting him accused of double-crossing his old ,gang of Apaches. The direction of Graham Cutts is excellent, and ho has introduced many ingenious effects. Detail work Js good, and tho characters are well defined. Tho photography is brilliant. The settings are very good indeed, and extremely varied between fashionable hotels and the Parisian underworld. Excellent supporting items will include tho latest Gazette and a Sunshine comedy. Robert Caulton has arranged a splendid musical programme for Ills Orchestra Paramount. The box plan is now open, at the Bristol Piano Company, and at tho Utility Stationery Shop (next to the theatre).
