PARAMOUNT THEATRE.

The last three nights are announced of the entertaining double bill, "Wain London" and "Girls Please!" at the Paramount Theatre. "Warn London" is an intriguing play concerning the adventures of a famous German criminologist who, through financial disaster, turns criminal. Edmund Gwenn, one of the greatest character actors on the screen today, presents a sterling performance as Dr. Krauss, while John Loder and Leonora Corbett, together with D. Clarke-Smith and Garry Marsh, support him. On Friday British Dominions Films will present at the Paramount Theatre Twickenham's talking screen version of the immortal story "The Broken Melody;" John Garrick, known to Wellingtonians as Reginald Dandy, and last seen here in "Lily of Killarney," has the starring role. His fine singing voice will be heard in the delightful theme song "The Broken Melody." Margot Grahame, Austin Trevor, and Merle Oberon, a Tasmanian girl, have the supporting roles. "The Broken Melody" is an enthralling romantic drama which grips interest from the unfolding of the story to its dramatic close. Scenes of the glittering "first night" of the opera in Paris are interwoven with the horrors of the notorious Devil's Island, the efforts of a struggling composer to write an operatic masterpiece, and his subsequent success for which he had to pay a terrible price. Romance and dramatic suspense blend into a noble story.
