PARAMOUNT THEATRE.

"East Lynne" is now in its second week at the Paramount Theatre. Ann Harding presents a. character which has become part of stage history, and her performance of a. difficult role is above criticism. A number of celebrated English and American actors make up the fine cast, including Conrad Nagel as Carlyle, the righteous husband, Clive Brook as Levison, the infatuated lover; Cecilia Loftus as Cornelia, and Beryl Mercer as Joyce, the falth|ful nurse. All these have made their marlt, and their work causes the picture to live and pulsate with emotion. There are several flne pictures In support, the features of which are I some oxclting Incidents in the last Cambridge land Oxford boat race, a point-to-point steeplechase, and a delightful scenic offering. Tho glamorous and fascinating Greta Garlw 1 comes back with: more lure than that of the silent days in "Inspiration," her new. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer talking picture, which opens on Friday next at the Paramount Theatre. Robert Montgomery plays opposite the star as her provincial lover, and his captivating negotiation of the romantic role "should send Ills I screen stock on skyrocketing boom"—if ho can go any higher than his amazing versatility has already carried him. Montgomery makes an I ideal leading man for Garbo. That reliable trouper who always seems so perfectly at ease and quite at home in Garbo's pictures, Lewis Stone, contributes another fine performance as Delval, the suave boulevardier, to whom Yvonne turns in need. Marjorle Rambeau, now a regular- fllmite, is striking at Lulu, a weatherbeaten lady of considerable leisure Beryl Mercer is Martha, the confidante, Judith vojselli is Yvonne's catty rival, and John Miljan portrays a lovelorn sculptor.
