PARAMOUNT THEATRE.
The sceond week's screening of the historical film "Nell Gwyn" is taking place at the Paramount Theatre. King Charles the_ Second, passing the orange girl with his followers, hears her cry "Oranges," listens to her witty chatter, gazes upon her beauty, and is enslaved by the natural grace and spontaneous gaiety of this child of the gutter. The King persuades her to appear at court, and after a brief training she appears at Drury Lane and becomes the King's favourite. To commemorate her birthday tho King builds her a palace at Chelsea, which she later turned into a hospital for wounded soldiers, and for this purpose it is utilised to this day. There are good supporting pictures.
