POPULAR TOM MOORE.

Quite a large %udience was present at the Paramount Theatre last night, when the popular actor Tom Moore was starred-in the Goldwyn production, "Just for To-night," which is a most entertaining .story. Theodore Whitney, junr., is the only son of a wealthy broker. Theodore Whitney, sehr., is worried—extremely worried —as a certain block of stock he once held is now worth many times the amount paid for it. This stock certificate is hanging on the wall of an inn, appropriately framed in mourning. Whitney has employed a detective to locate it, and when it is at last found, he sends Theodore, junr., to buy it at the lowest'possible- figure. But stock certificates are far ; from Theodore junr's mind. He is quite madly in love with a young girl whose real name is. Betty Blake, but who poses before him as Mary Smilfci Theodore's acquaintance is limited to few passing glimpses in an automobile and a joint session with a spee dcop. , But Whitney's detective opens a way for the gallant loveri This fellow scheduled to enter the home of Major ißlaekburn, Betty's uncle, as an English nobleman, the reason being that thieves have worried the Major's friends, and they believe a detective must bo present. So Theodore, being a man of infinite resourcefulness, pays the detective to drop the case while he proceeds to pose as the nobloman—Lord Roxenham. And here are complications. Though Theodore is delighted basking in the presence of Betty, he is

«?uiie thoroughly astonished when a Lady Roxenham puts in an appearance. Then/ havoc! Betty will have nothing to do with him. AH his words of love "make him out a vile hypocrite. But then Theodore proves himself a good detective after all. He discovers that the supposed Lady Roxenham is none other than one of the gang of crooks who had planned to rob the Major. And it appears that Betty had bought the stock certificate ao dear to Whitney's heartso what could be better than this happy of affairs. Other interesting and amusing pictures complete a good all round night's fun.
