PARAMOUNT THEATRE.
Gainsborough, in translating for the" screen Edgar Wallace's' best story, -'The Frightened lady," which in legitimate stage form ran for eighteen months at Sir diaries Wynduuiu's Theatre, London, has achieved something which justifies Britain's, claim to acting supremacy on the screen. On Saturday evening a big audience at the Paramount Theatre was held 'enthralled, not only by Wallace's masterly story of Marks Priory, the ancestral home of the aristocratic Lebanons, but also by the uncommonly fine way in which every character of the long cast was sustained. Every part is splendidly played. Normau McKinnell ha 3 never been seen to better advantage, nor has Gordon Barker, whose clean comedy is very commendable. Belle, Chrystall in the title role is most convincing,' while Cathleen Nesblt scores' effectively as tho aristocratic, race-proud Lady Lebanon. The acting of Emlyu Williams as Lord Lebanon Is masterly. Included amongst the featurettes is "Dickens' London," a most interesting short subject. '
