It shows life in Little Ole' London, a decided contrast with that of America, but depicting lifes thrills and pleasures and the great big idea, the love of a man for a maid, just the same as it would work out in any land upon which the sun shines today. The picture is vivid with allegorical picturizations and tells a most wonderful story. See it. And then this picture is backed up with the usual fine program of acts. There is the Paramount Four, an agjgregation of good singers who know the effect of a little comedy, well placed and judiciously portrayed. In addition the boys sing well, all four of em, which is in itself quite an unusual feature in a foursome on the stage. s Lottie Mayer and her and when did a bathing girl review ever remind one of a sandwich? But we notice it is the spelling that tells the story. Witches they surely are, some short and plump anil others tall and lean, but all good swimmers and divers of distinction. Miss Mayer is a regular Annette Kellerman in her interpretation of a water act. She has the poise, the flourish, the daring and the finnesse of the real water nymph supreme. The other acts will entertain you highly. There are three other acts, all above the average for a popular priced vaudeville stage. They include Hamlin and Mack, Hickman Brothers and Clifford and Bothwell.

That Manager A. C. Christenson of Lagoon has struck the keynote of popular fancy with free Sunday afternoon vaudeville was attested last week by the packed house that greeted the opening bill of this new summer feature at that resort. Every seat in the theatre was taken and hundreds who arrived too late to secure out-do- or seats stood throughout the performance. And while the opening bill was pleasing in every way, Manager Christensen announces an ensemble of all feature attractions for the bill next Sunday afternoon that will make an even more attractive program than that of last Sunday. As the headline attraction of Sunday afternoons bill,- June Purrington, the - juvenile prodigy who has beei alluded to by vaudeville critics as the cleverest juvenile in vaudeville, will charm the audience with a series of character songs and dances that have won her highest praise on both Pantages and Orpheum stages. Little June is one of the few children who possess genuine talent, and a voice of amazing strength and brilliancy and a personality. In fact, so convincing is the work of little June that she does not resort to a shimmie to get a hand. Mocho and Star, two of the tiniest and cleverest Shetland ponies that ever appeared before the footlights, will be another feature on Sundays bill that will please the kiddies and the grownups as well. Mocho is an animal of wonderful intelligence and can do almost everything but talk, while Star is an outlaw pony that has never yet found a man who can ride him.

The famous showman, whose success was du3 to his uncanny understanding of the human psychology, spoke what is as true today as it was when he ruled the circus world. In his latest Paramount starring One a Minute, which will be ve-'hicl- e, presented at the Paramount Empress theatre beginning Sunday, July 3, and continuing to July 6, Douglas has utilized public gullibility as the theme for one of the most delightful and sparkling comedies of his entire career.
