"INNOCENTS OF PARIS."

Maurice Chevalier is a grent:

"Tunocents of Paris" showing at the Central

Theatre...

It is difficult to describe the-in- tangible quality of mimicert 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 ull-persuasive smile..

Innocents of Paris" deals with the rise of a pushèart-peddler, and singer, who gets his chance, and Toakes good on the state. The atenes are laid in the French. capitol. The supporting cast is excellent in spite of the fact that Chevalier is the kind of star who does not need support.

"Cap- tain of the Guaril" is a romantic love story besides on inherently dramatic epic, and Sam de Grasse,“ James Marcus, Stuart Holmes, Evelyn Hall, Claude Fleming, Murdock MacQuarrie, DeWitt Jennings at others have promin-actors in this ent parts in the picture, which was directed by John Robertson,

John Bbles, whose meteoric rise to stardom has made him perkaps" singing streen, was born in Green- the most popular favourite of the ville, Texas. Besides his marvelous voico, which is without a peer in the realm of sound pictures, Boles

has every characteristic beloved by the public in a screen idol. Tall, handsome with a golden emilo and charming personality, he is the outstanding personality of the romantic photo-play world."

Boles played many leada in many famous silent pictures, but anund picture that he came into is was not until the advent of the
