PARAMOUNT THEATRE.
Comedy and Mystery,
Done in an airy manner, "Talent Scout," the comedy starring Donald Woods and veterans of last year's "Gold Diggers' Air Tour"—Jeanne Madden, Fred Lawrence, and. Rosalind Marquis—is the story of a young singer who makes good in Hollywood through the shrewd efforts of a fast-talking and faster thinking talent scout. Woods plays the part of the scout who takes a group of chorus girls across the country in a bus, an idea originating from the aeroplane trip made by the "Gold Diggers of 1937." "Talent Scout" will begin a season at the Paramount Theatre tomorrow.
The supporting film will be "The Patient in Room 18,". a mystery-melo-drama with almost all of its action taking place within the walls of a hospital. The idea is novel, because the detective here involved (Patric Knowles) is able to solve several interdependent crimes while confined in the hospital himself as a patient.
