"LISTEN LESTER” AND MANNEQUIN PARADE. ■ What Lee Moran, tho celebrated vaudeville comedian, who plays an important part In "Listen Lester,” says: —When an Italian or a Frenchman is in lovo, ho tears his hair. An Englishman writes letters about it. It doesn’t cost him more than a penny to got rid of one of those letters. But it usually costs about £IOO to get It back. Some literary experts draw anything from a shilling or more for each word they write. Authors of love letters don’t even get a penny. Gay old Lotharios, when smitten by the love bug, might find it more convenient to write out a cheque than a love letter. Some do both and pay double. They say it's tho woman who pays. But try to laugh that one off on any old codger who’s Just heard his facile pen has run him Into a £I,OOO breach of promise suit. When Mr. Florid and Fifty takes to writing vers fibre to a blonde ensemble charmer you can paste it in your hat that twelve more birds are going to have a chance to argue behind closed doors. I don’t have to be kicked down a flight of stairs to know when I’ve got a bump in the head. But a lot of old love-slck Romeos take more than one fall from a ladder before they realise they’ve had enough. So, Listen Lester, if you’ve got to write—telephone instead. Heart Balm Preferred is on the rise. A Mannequin Parade with living models showing the latest French gowns and Miss Hilda Grice, a danseuse, will appear In this program. PARAMOUNT THEATRE. In her newest Metro, starring vehicle, “Her Fatal Millions,” which comes to the Paramount Theatre tonight, Viola Dana plays the role of a girl who posed to as a millionaire to •«ve to an old sweetheart that fortune had smiled on her too.

Fred took her to her "husband’s” home. And then there were complications galore. Here Is a role that fits tho versatile, vivacious little Miss Dana like a glove.
