PARAMOUNT THEATRE.
"Infatuation," the principal attraction at the Paramount Theatre this week, possesses some unique and outstanding features. The story gives Miss Corinne Griffith an excellent opportunity to make the Tnost of her very considerable talent; and she certainly does so. The wellchosen supporting programme includes a Gaumont Graphic, a fine scenic picture, a Pathe Review, and a laughable "Felix the Cat" cartoon. An enjoyable musical programme is supplied by the Paramount orchestra, under Mr. R. R. Caulton. The box plan is at the Utility stationery shop, next the theatre. "KIKI." Norma Talmadge puts a new kick in "Kiki," to be screened at the Paramount Theatre on Friday, for never has a motion picture star been so aptly fitted for a ro?e as Miss Talmadge for the title character in the gay story of modern Paris life. Tho First National, picture fairly bubbles over with mirthful situations, yet throughout the story runs a highly dramatic theme —the adventures of a little street gamin who aspires to Stage fame and the luxurious life of a "great lady." Miss Talmadge, as "Kiki," who is always ready for a fight or a frolic, reveals herself as a comedienne of the first water. It is difficult to envision this harum-scarum miss in "Kiki" as the same Norma Talmadge who created those immortal screen rples in "Smilin' Through," "Secrets," and "Graustark." Ronald Colman, as Victor Renal, a Paris theatre manager, makes an ideal leading man for Miss Talmadge. It is the ' handsome actor's first appearance opposite Norma. ,The box plan is now open at the Utility' Stationery Shop, next to the theatre.
