PARAMOUNT THEATRE.
Spirited action, depth of plot, and excellent production make "The Last Outpost" one of the best films of its kind to come to Wellington. It is showing at the Paramount Theatre. Apart from the . many thrills attendant upon the hard and close fighting in this backwash of the Great War, there are fine "shots" of jungle scenery and mountain treks. Briefly, it is the story of an intelligence officer in Kurdistan, who, because of his work, has-not seen the woman he married at the outbreak of war for three years. He saves an officer of an armoured car division from death, and with him goes through exciting adventures. But the officer he saves, Captain Andrews, fractures a; leg and is put in the hospital at Cairo. Not unnaturally,'he falls in love with his nurse, not knowing that she is the wife of the intelligence officer. This man, "Mr. Smith," has a love that amounts to almost insanity, and his reactions when he finds his ■ wife no: longer loves him are an outstanding piece of acting. Cary Grant is Captain Andrews, and Claude Rains the intelligence officer, and.both give fine performances. Supporting them is Gertrude Michael, and also in the cast is Colin Tapley. There is a bright supporting programme.
