PARAMOUNT THEATRE.
It is but seldom. that one is privileged to see upon the screen such aa admirable story, so well acted and photographed as is the British Dominions film, "Ills House in Order." The filmed version' reproduces Sir Arthur Wlug IMnero's celebrated stage play with unusual faithfulness, and the result is an entertainment of real .merit. Tallulah Bankhead, the famous London actress, supported by a cast of tlno calibre is responsible for acting of a quality that is very rarely met with in motion pictures. An outstanding performance of special appeal Is presented by Master I'at Courtenay, a youngster of conspicuous ability, for whom a great future may be predicted. J/urge and enthusiastic attendances applaud the picture nightly, and.are likely to do so while
"His House in Order" holds the screen. The first or the third- series of "The Collegians" a smart British comedy, and an English News reel complete this very sound picture programme. ■
