PARAMOUNT THEATRE
“THE COAST OF TOLLY.” “The Coast of Folly t ” Gloria Swanson’s latest starring picture for Paramount, which will be the feature at th© Paramount this week, has an American background of th© aristocracy of wealth as best exemplified in the exclusive orbit of Palm Beach, the “coast of folly,” and New York. Nadine Gathway, a young, beautiful and tempestuous girl, is married to a middle-aged millionaire who is prosy and narrow by nature. Bored by th© dull rigidity of her married life, she deserts nim and her baby. But mother lovo .triumphs in the end. Miss Swanson portrays Nadine Gathway, and also Joyce Gathway, the daughter. She brings a dramatic finesse that is fairly genius into the characterisations. True to life, the husband passes into th© discard. How his wife finds happiness eventually on the very brink of destruction is a Eowerful them© of the story. Allan 'wan, who directed Gloria in “Manhandled,” “Her Love Story” and “Wages of Virtue,” produced tlio story from Forrest Halsey’s adaptation of the novel by Coningsby Dawson. An excellent comedy, a scenic and a. gazette complete a programme' which is mad© even bettor by the beautiful music of the Paramount Orchestra.
