ENTERTAINMENTS.

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 Walters —the author of many successful play's, 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 fight 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 Vitagraphs released for a long time. A fine two-act comedy and other good pictures are being shown. j

COSY THEATEE. EVELYN NESBIT FEATURE.
