AMUSEMENTS

Like a breath from cool glenß on a hob summer day cornea Juoe Caprice to the Paramount Theatre to regale capacity audiences with her refresh.ng personality. This time Miss Caprice is seen in "Miss Innocence," a new photoplay'of h*gh dramatic quality, it gives her a wider latitude than any of the preceding plays she has been seen in here. One forgets sultry weather in watching this breezy little star float through the various scenes of this magnificently cast production, in which she has the support of such well known players as Marie Shotwell and Frank Beamish. The story lias to do with the offspring of a woman of vagaries, who leaves the ch:ld in the care of nuns. Curiosity of the outer world causes the child, now grown into charming girlhood* to scale the walls of the convent to join a party of which she had been apprised in confidence. Thenceforth she learns many things of the world that might cause one to enter nunnenesj rather than leave them. Without mother love to protect her, alone and inexperienced, this child of the con- < vont finds herself after a battk against the artificial froces that seek | to corrode her. "Miss Innonce" it the feature of an interesting anc varied bill, which includes 1 anothei episode of the "Fighting Trail" serial story. There will be a matinee tomorrow afternoon. i ■' ■ CONSTANCE TALMADGE. A procession of * young men, old men, strong men, weak men, nice men, toughs, nasty men chases aftei Constance Talmadge in "A Lady's Name." She advertises for a husband to get some copy for her new novel.' and the .various applicants are respon sible f6r situations that could, only have been conceived by the author oi "A Pair of Silk Stockings." As the advertisment in question set out manj attractions that lent' it roseate hues,, \ which attractions, by the way, .Constance herself, possesses in plenty, the replies were multitudinous and multifarious, and exceeded her expectations by quite a good deal. As she had a, fiancO of her own, his annoyance can be imagined. A rattling gooo comedy has been v provided in "A Lady's Name," and one that only the inimitable and youthful Constance can do full justice" to. "Stingaree's Further Adventures" are showing in a mos thrilling chapter, which is even better, than the preceding ones. There will be a matinee to-morrow afternoon. "THE LUCK OF THE NAVY^" The Alhin W ; lkie Dramatic Company will introduce at the Operr House on Monday evening the grea< naval drama "The Luck of the Navy," which has lately terminated a phenomenal * run of two years in London, and is now drawing crowded atten dances at the Manhattan Operf House, New York. The plot involve? the scehmes of a daring coterrie, oi Hun spies in England, who beset the commander ,of a British submarine There is an atmosphere of excitement throughout the play which' culminates in a thrilling climax. The role o the heroic British commander will. b< supported by Mr Allan Wilkie, witl Miss Frediswyde Hunter-Watts a; his fiancee. "THE ROTTERS." Few comedies in the history of th< British stage have achieved the famt of H. F. Maltby's clever satire "The Rotters," which will be submitted 05 the Company on Tuesday evening The plot deals with the hypocrisj which often obtains among those who seek social place and political distinction with a great outward; respect ability'. In this case the family of a self-made ambitious man prove to be an. utter disappointment, and Clugston, the head of the household,, is ultimately revealed as the least worthy of all. Mr Allan Wilkie will impersonate the chauffeur who wins the love of his employer's daughter. Miss Frediswyde Hunter-Watts plays the part of Miss Clugston, and Mr Edward Landor will figure as Clugston.
