Some of the most famed lieauty spots of the Canadian^backwoods are to he found ns a background for the stirrin'g drama of Paramount’s picture “M'liitran,” which is pnw showing at the King’s Theatre. It is the tale of a summer camping trip taken bv a young New York lawyer, portrayed by Percy Marniont. who is tired of ’“toning to women clients asking for divorces: and a stocking manufacturer. Eugene Pallette. who proves to be nothing but a grand “Babbitt” "t large on a camping trip. Marmont does not get awav from women, love triangles, or martial infolicitv by noing to the Canadian woods. Clara Row, as the flapper-manicurist from Atinnenpnlis whose sudden love whim has_ resulted In her changing her city environment, for that of the Canadian woods, but wlioso instincts arc the same whether in the citv or at, “Mantrap Landing.” clays a role that suits her perfectly Equally as brilliant, is the work of Marmont. while Ernest Torrence, in the role of “.Too Easter.” trader and tranper of the north woods, gives a performance which is splendid both in dramatic strength and in that delightful whimsical humour for which he is famous.
