"THEODORA GOES WILD."
Paramount Tliea?rc,
"Theodora Goes Wild," which has had a highly successful three weeks season at the St. James Theatre, has been transferred to the Paramount Theatre and will commence its fourtn week tomorrow with sessions at 2 p.m., 5 p.m., and 8 p.m. "Theodora Goes Wild" is one of the cleverest and wittiest comedies seen-in years, and Irene Dunne, in the title role, excels herself with some really fine acting. She has what amounts to a dual role, but carries it off with flying colours. To play the character, of a. small-town girl who has done nothing more exciting than play the organ at church and assist in the. organisation or bazaars, and to make it blend , harmoniously with that of the publicityhungry novelist, cited in two divorce actions, is no mean feat. Melvyn Douglas plays the young artist whose name is "linked eventually with that of the notorious novelist, Caroline Adams. The results when Theodora, incensed by the efforts of scandalmongers, embarks on a campaign of emancipation, are amazing but highly satisfactory to all concerned.
