PARAMOUNT THEATRE

“THE STREET OF FORGOTTEN MEN.” From a professional beggar, strapping on his fake arm in the back room of a Bowery “cripple factory,” to a gentleman of fashion, an outstanding figure in tho famous Easter Parade on Fifth Avenue, this is the amazing range covered by Percy Marmont in the unusual story of dual personality, “The Street of Forgotten Men,”which is now at the Paramount Theatre. As usual in such cases, a woman is the reason but the remarkable thing about it is that she doesn’t know it. George Kibbe Turner has fashioned a powerful drama out of material which is decidedly different. Mary Brian is the girl and Neil Hamilton completes the trio of players featured in the leading roles of the production. Hamilton is “Elasy Money Charley,” a “fake” beggar. One day he inherits a baby girl. Fancy (Miss Brian) falls in love with Hamilton and everything looks fine until “Bridgeport White-Eye,” played by John Harrington, threatens to “inform” on Charlie. That is the? draraatio frame-work of Herbert Brenon’s new Paramount production. A specially selected supporting bill and beautiful music by the Paramount orchestra complete the programme.
