THEATERS

Paradise for Two," a rip-roar.
Ing comedy drama that sends the
audience into spasms of laughter,
opens at the Valley theater tonight
for a two days run. The ever
pleasing Richard Dix as Steve FOR
ter, the handsome and affluent
young bachelor, who never can say
no to the pretty young things who
panhandle him for money adds an
other ray of light to his shining
star of popularity.
There are complications to the
plot that form situations to make
an audience hold it's sides in laugh
ter. There are scenes that bring the
suspicion of catch in the throat.
For there's pathos enough to add
spice to the comedy and bring it out
to better advantage.
Andre Beranger as Maurice the
stage producer, and Edmund Breese
as Uncle Howard, in their able char
acter Interpretation add much To
make the picture as fine as Dix has
ever done. Gregory La C3va who
directed the star in three successive
comedy hits, directed Paradise for
