romaner, "Playboy of Paris," in which the joyous lothario will WAD And warble at the King's theatre from to- day. Now the man who brought "A new Kind of Love" to America has Ironbles of his own with a bundle of Parisian lights-o'-love,
Maurire, guy debonaire and daunt. less, is enst, as a millionaire waller. All day he waits on the rich people of Paris, longing to take his place with them in the glamourous life of the world's fashion centre. At night, transformed, he joins the throng of merry-makers in the brilliant enfes, and, with his bewitching singing, hi melting love making, becomes favourite with the women. Hin chiof difficulty is in keeping his identity ns a walter secret, for he is under an Ironhound contræet to keep on waiting at tables for twenty years.

The pretty Frances Dee, the lucky Hollywood extra girl who soared to movie heights when chosen play with Chevalier, enters the contest for his heart, turns the tabes on a blonda pursuer and an ambitious gold-digger, and snatches Maurice from his moun- tain of dreams. 'Playboy of Paris" in an entrancing, love story built for Inh.
The comedy is held at a constant high point by the antics of the genial Eugene Pallette, whose rotund comedy provides a succession of roars, and by Stuart Erwin, the dumb Axel of Swretic." The women, in addition to Miss Dee, are Dorothy Christy, Ziegfeldian beauty who featured in the Kinge productions of "Good News," "New Moon" and "Follow Thru," And Cecil Cunningham a character comedienne of International fame re- cently seen with Ruth Chatterton in "Anybody's Woman."
Ludwig Bergor's alv кепке of humour went into "Playboy of Paris" to make it Chevalier's best, better than "Innocents of Paris." "The Love Parade," or the "Big Pond." The hangy star sings three new song hits, "My Ideal," "Its a Grent Life if you Dont Weaken" and "In the Heart of Oh! Parce." Those who remember Chavaller singing, "Louise," "Sween. In the Clouds Away" and, "You Brought a New Kind of Lovato Me" won't miss hearing him croon "My Ideal,"
