TONIGHT. TO-NIGHT ‘PADDY, THE NEXT BEST THING”

Janet and Warner Baxter are to bo seen in their newest film to-night when “Paddy, The .Next Best Thing,” the latest from the studios of Fox Film opens lit the Princess Theatre. The two stars were last seen together in “Paddy Long Legs” and their success was so great that they were again assigned to complement each other. Her thirteenth characterisation ’for Fox, “Paddy,” tho 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 uncanny faculty of enslaving the affection 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. Miss Gay-nor-has what is reported as her strongest role to date. For in addition to her well-known wistfulness she is here required to display her newly-found spirit. 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 said to be in his most popular element. He is suaveq handsome and the gentlest of • lovers. The cast that Fox Film has gathered around its two stars is one of the most notable ever seen on the screen. Also showing Fox news
