WEST END.

Tn his new Paramount production "You're Fired!" Wallace Reid changes from heavy dramatic roles to light comedy. Some of his late produc- tions have been straight dramas, but his latest starring vehicle, "Y ou're Firedr' which is on view at the West End theatre tonight is ono of the fun niest and most entertaining comedy dramas ever produced. Mir. Reid is quite versatile and makes good in the lightest comedy as he does in the heaviest drama.
 The support Is most praiseworthy, the leading feminine role being in the hand of Wanda Hawley. Theodore Roberts and Raymond Hatton are in the cast.
