PARAMOUNT THEATRE.
Tlie new programme at the Pa.ia mount Theatre includes the fivejact comedy drama by William Fox, entitled "A Strange Romance," in which pretty June Caprice has the leading role. The Paralta Company decided for its first great play to take the well-known story, "Rose of Paradise," and Bessie Bnrriscalc was selected as lea-ling lady. She scores a triumph In the role of thelittle country girl who ;s all the time an heiress, and manages to save a wrongfully accused man in the n. -k of time. "The cruel plot which is planned by her guardian is frustrated at length, and all ends happil.y The play is full of quaint and fascinating touches, and Bessie Barriscale is bonny, convincing and wholesomely pretty throughout. The highest praise must be given to the perfect photography of this production. The hill and forest scenes are wonderful. The real strength of the story lies, however, in the simple beauty and sterling appeal of the little heroine's belief in the goodness of mankind. She wanders through a grim world and brings to its troubles a bubbling spirit of cheeriness. The rest of the cast are good, Norman Kerry as the handsome hero carrying off the honours. This programme will be repeated to-night.
