CHARLES (BUDDY) ROGERS in the Paramount Picture
 "R.Vcr of Romance"

It is a new kind of role for Buddy Rogers. He appears as a soft-man- nered youth who returns to his pa ternal home in a Mississippi planta- ton to be confronted with the brusque and bewildering code Of duels and feuds and "honnuh, suh. ? Refusing to fight a duel he IS branded a coward. He comes back though in startling fashion, even tually winning the girl who had lov- ed him through it all. Mary Brian Is bewitching as the demure South ern girl who loves Buddy. and June Collyer as the coquette, is effective. Excellent character work is furnish ed by Wallace Beery. Fred Kohler Mrs. George Fawcett, Henry B. Walthall and Natalie Kingston.
 Rogers voice has a happy quality Of youthful freshness and vigor and Miss Brian intones her lines with Engaging intelligence. The sounI background of river life and plan taton days was pleasingly injected Into the play by Richard Wallace, the capable director. It is a pie lure that young and old will enjoy.
 Vitaphone acts and the Movietoae News with comedies complete the balance of the program.

MAjRiCE, CHIiN AI.i.IR in the Paramount Picture
 "InnoccntS of Paris

It is difficult to describe the in tangible quality of mimic art which this idol of the French stage wields over his audiences. Young and old take him to their hearts as soon as they glimpse his all-persuasive smile His is a genius with something of the divine spark that made La BerG- hardt immortal.
 "Innocents of Paris" deals with the rise of a pushcart-peddler and singer who gets his chance, ami makes good on the stage. The scenes are laid in the French Capi- tai. The supporting cast is excellent in spite of the fact that Chevalier is the kind of star who doesn't neel support.
 To sum up-no man, woman or child should fail to see this king of minstrelsy and pantomime, Maurice Chevalier.
 On Thursday the first dual roie Nitaphone picture will be offered in presenting Jack Mulhall and Lila Lee in Dark Streets" Jack Mui. hall plays two brothers in the pie ture There will be an excellent program of vaudeville offered with this attraction.

Sliding Billy Watson is q name that guarantees a full meas ure of laughter in any company and inasmuch as the star was given carte blanche in picking his own company something unusual in the way of burlesque fare may be look

Proof Of this statement is borne out by the fact that every audience which viewed last seasons offerings at this thcater was liberally sprinklcd with ladies who found burlosquc sprightly entertainment sans line of objectionable matter.

When Maurice Chevalier made his debut at the Ziegfeld Frolic in New York in February the. critis of the metropolis were as one in sounding his praises.
