PARAMOUNT THEATRE.

“THE WOLF.” Earle Williams, the popular picture star, is usually seen in the polished gentleman or city types, but in his latest, release, a Vitagraph six-reel special, “The Wolf,” he shows to remarkable advantage as a backwoods French Canadian trapper and has succeeded in giving to the screen his best performances. He certainly has a splendid vehicle in “The Wolf,” a vigorous open-air story of the big spaces, in which vengeance plays the greatest part. The picture is adapted from the play written by Eugene Waites the author of many successful plays, and which had a remarkable run in America, and which will probably be shown in New Zealand shortly. The story is full of strong human interest, the action is replete; with dramatic thrill. Several big exciting incidents —such as the canoeing scene and the meeting of the “Wolf” and the avenger in a light for life Particularly fine is the magnificent' photography.* gorgeous glimpses of a mountain stream, of rapids, huge trees, mountains and craggy peaks, long vistas of valleys and wilderness add to the value of the production. The acting too, is above the ordinary every character being perfectly portrayed. Altogether “The Wolf” is one of the best itagraphs released for a long time. A fine two-act comedy and other good pictures are being shown.
