"A VERY GOOD YOUNG MAN"

A Paramount picture at the Warfield
theatre Monday.
The sight cut like knife into his
tender sensibilities-his modesty was
shocked beyond identification. But
he remembered that, to get HER, he
had to be an outrageous devil.
So turning a face that was scarlet
with shame, "the very good young
man" closed one eye and-Heavens!
The creature winked back
But it got him the REAL GIRL!
How? Come to see the annually good
