PARAMOUNT THEATRE

“THE STREET OP FORGOTTEN MEN.’! The feature at the Paramount Theatre this week is “The Street of Forgotten Men,” a Herbert Brenon production for Paramount of George Kibbe Turner’s “Liberty” magazine story, by that name, an underworld romance of the Bowery in tho late 90’s. Percy Marmont, Neil Hamilton and Mary Brian are featured in the cast. The “Street of Forgotten Men” is a second “Miracle Man.” Marmont is Easy Money Charlie, who lived in “The Street of Forgotten Men.” He was a fake cripple who “took” New York’s crowds for hundreds of dollars weekly—but in his crazy little cottage outside the city he was a “successful business man” to all that knew him. One of the women hangers-on in Diamond Mike’s saloon had entrusted into Charlie’s care a baby daughter whom he had brought up far from “the street,” and now with her chance of marrying a fine young millionaire came threatened exposure. Never had the girl ever dreamed that there were bucli men in the world as her guardian, and then when the crisis came he fought—fought like a maddened animal to keep her from ever learning such a thing. A specially selected supporting hill und beautiful music by the Paramount popular orchestra complete the programme.
