■•"‘SOMETHING ALWAYS HAPPENS”

TO-NIGHT.

Ether Ralston lias been given a distinctive type of picture in her latest Paramount starring vehicle, “Something Always Happens,” due to be shown at the Princess Theatre to-night. It is the story of hilarious happenings •in a haunted house, and shows ; the star as a girl seeking adventure, • and getting it not as she anticipated. ' She . meets up with screaming hoot owls, ghostly figures, and mysterious hands that grip her by the throat and becomes embroiled in a series of spectacular adventures which are hailed as “ thrilling, chilling, baffling, and amusing.” “ Something Always Happens ” is a type of picture that has never before been made on Paramount lot, in the words of studio executives. Mysterious melodramatic action is combined with fun in huge quantities. The production was based on an original story written especially for Miss Ralston by Frank Tuttle, who directed her •in “ Love and Learn ” and “ The Spotlight.” Tuttle, former Yale dramatic writer, and author o<f a number of one- : act successes, conceived more than one 'hundred adventurous situations, which give the star a great * opportunity for satirical light comedy portayal, for which she has become popular.'

A scenic, topical and comedy complete the display to-night. On Wednesday, Billie Dove in “The Heart of a Follies’ Girl.” .

On Friday next, Bin Tin Tin in “A ’Dog of the Regiment.”
