DOUBLE PROGRAMME AT CIVIC THEATRE ’SCANDAL STREET” The story uf how women in a small town blacken the reputation of an innocent young girl because they resent and fear her attraction for their mid-dle-aged husbands forms the plot of Paramount's “Scandal Street,” which opens to-night at the Civic Theatre. Backed by the loyalty and devotion of Lew Ayres, Louise Campbell defies the slander of the community and shows them the dangers of unbridled gossip and suspicion. “Partners of the Plains” ’Hopalong Cassidy,” the screen’s favourite hero of outdoor action romances, falls headlong in love in Paramount’s "Partners of the Plains,” which opens to-night at the Civic Theatre. In this Clarence E. Mulford story William Boyd, playing the famous cowboy role, meets romance unexpectedly in the person of a beautiful English visitor to Arizona, Gwen Gaze. To win her “Hoppy” has to fight a vicious criminal band, a forest iipj and a flood.
