PARAMOUNT THEATRE.

"Love from a Stranger."

Intensely thrilling entertainment is to be found in abundance- in ,"Love from a Stranger," which commences a season- at -the Paramount Theatre tomorrow. "Love from a Stranger" comes from the studios of Trafalgar Films, and was produced by Max Schach. Basil Rathbone wins the acting honours with his remarkably intense portrayal of a homicidal maniac, while Ann Harding also is responsible for some outstanding dramatic acting. Her part is that of an office worker who is successful in a lottery. The money does not bring her happiness, however, as she quarrels with her fiance. She decides to leave for Paris, and offers her flat to let. A handsome stranger comes to inspect it,'and he makes a strong impression on her. She meets him again on the boat to Paris and the two are married there. The couple return to England and settle.down in an isolated cottage in Kent, where the girl commences to discover several strange facts about her husband, and it is in these scenes that Basil Rathbone displays remarkable dramatic ability. The wife calls in the local doctor to attend to her husband, and from the doctor she discovers by chance that the man she has married is a homicidal maniac. From this point the story is brought to a powerful climax, with a very satisfactory conclusion. Together with "Love from a Stranger." several entertaining shorter items will be presented. These include Paramount and Pathe newsreels of the latest, events overseas, another of the fine "Screen Traveller" series this time of life in Java, a pleasant musical film, and a deliehtful cartoon in colour, entitled "Donald and Pluto."
