THE PARAMOUNT. There was a big attendance at the Paramount Theatre on Saturday evening when the new series shown was much appreciated. “The Silver Car” is a film version of Wyndham Martyn’s famous novel entitled “The Secret of the Silver Car.” Kathlyn Adams appears opposite Earle Williams in the production. She is said to be especially fitted for the part in this picture because of her stately blonde beauty of the British type". The heroine is an unusual girl, daughter of the Earl of Rosecarrel, and Miss Adams typifies her to the complete satisfaction of the author himself. This picture is one of the most fascinating mystery dramas that has ever been presented on the screen. A further episode of “Do or Die” (serial), a good comedy and a gazette were splendid supporting items. cosFdeAuxe.
