IDEAL ROMANTIC PAIR

JANET GAYNOR AND WARNER BAXTER Remembered for their appearance together in 1 Daddy Long-legs,’ Janet Gaynor and Warner Baxter in their newest screen partnership are the main film entertainment in ‘ Paddy, the Next-best Thing,’ which opens to-mor-row at the Octagon, and in which it was decided to co-star them after their undoubted success in ‘ Daddy Longlegs.’ Her thirteenth characterisation for the same studio, the role of Paddy, the madcap Irish lass, offers Janet Gaynor something absolutely new. Paddy’s greatest asset is at the same time her worst liability. For she possesses the faculty of enslaving the affections of those with whom she comes into contact. It is an asset because it smooths the rough spots of life—a liability because it makes her an utter stranger to discipline. She is a rogue—and she is irresistibly charming. As the man who brings her down to earth and convinces her of his love. Warner Baxter is in his most popular element. He is suave, handsome, and the greatest of lovers. The cast assembled around the stars is a most notable one. It has Walter Connolly, of the Broadway stage, Harvey Stephens, Margaret Lindsay, Mary M'Cormic. Joseph M. Kerrigan, and Claire M'Dowcll. The locale of the film, directed bv Harry Lachnmn, is the rugged coast of Ireland.
