PARAMOUNT THEATRE.

"FLAMES OF CHANCE."

A programme rather abovo the ordinary has been selected for portrayal at the Paramount Theatre thig evening, when the new series will include tho appearance of Miss Margery Wilson in "Flames of Chance." Jeanette Gontreau is a New York stenographer anxious to do her "bit." She writes to throe young Allied soldiers, held in German prison camps, whose names she has obtained at the Red Cross headquarters. She does not suspect that her employer, Frederick Armstrong, is a German spy, who is conveying secret messages to tho Fatherland on the apparently blank paper she is using. One of her letters accidentally falls into tho hands of Harry Lcdyard, one of the three prisoner's, and is scorched by ilaincs. It discloses a secret message. Ledyard 's release is effected, and his return to .America throws .Jeanette into a panic, for she has made her letters entirely too personal. Instigated by Armstrong and k Mrs Tibbets, sho \ disguises herself as an old lady, and receives him at her home. Lcdyard has communicated his suspicions to the Government, and detectives call to investigate while he is visiting thestonographer. Harry experiences a. change of ('heart, and claims later that he himself has written the hidden message. Facing the chief of detectives, however, Harry conveys his real suspicions, and a trap is* laid for Armstrong, who is taken off his guard and confesses. Ledyard. learns .leannctte is not an old lady, but a charming girl, and takes her in his arms. Another big fivereeler will be shown in "Final Payment," in which the Fox Company quite excel themselves. Other iihns include the latest "Gaumont Graphic."
