Heart Gripping Story at tko Para
mount Yesterday.
"ARISTOCRACY"
Mr. Burnett. baa brought some of
the very best motion pictures to An
derson since ho opened the "Para
mount," bot not yat has he played one
here that 'had the heart throb In lt
which kept you sitting forward In
your opera sea, tense with excite
ment and interest that was in evidence
all over the beautiful and almost ap
pointed theatre yesterday. .
To begin with the theme of "Aris
tocracy" ls one calculated to pull at
the heart strings of almost any one,
bot more especially the class ot peo
ple who patronise the Paramount; it
ta a society drama with almost every
featur? that o??e would e?.?*ct tc find
In that sort of s play. The successful
western Jefferson Stockton, makes
his "pile", goes to New York to "live"
and let his daughter Virginia, and
second wife have their fling at "high
society"; the beautiful daughter meets
and loves the son of one of the old
Knickerbocker familles who are, and
always have been as proud aa luci
ter. . The young man Stuyvesant
Stewart-Lawrence, returns the young
Indy's love, but when he mentions his
engagement to bis parents Mr. and
Mrs. Stewart-Lawrence, they imme
diately set about plans to frustrate the
match; they take the stand that she is
a "nobody" wlhout any social pool
Uon.
From this position, the play un
ravels from one scene on to and
through another. In which the boy's
letters to the girl are Intercepted,
and she .and her. family go to London
for a London "Seasdn." She wonders
what, ls the matter with-her lover;
he does not .understand why his
sweetheart fails to respond to his let
teni and while his mother Is schem
lng to get bim married luto one of
the old Knickerbocker families, he ts
wearing his heart out because ot lib)
sweetheart's seeming coldness and
neglect, hut he steadfastly refuses to
listen to any proposals from hts moth
er to marry th?- other girl, and keeps
hoping that he will learn where his
girl la and what the matter ls.
tie goa. to England In an effort to
escape this girl the mother is trying
to marry him to, but his parents with
the young lady follows; he gets
wounded while out hunting, and ts
nursed back to Ute by this young lady
whom he dislikes very, much. In the
meantime, the stepmother ot the oth
er girl, who ha? aspiration to marry
this daughter to one ot the "Aris
tocracy" of England, and who, togeth
er with her husband, have, rented one
ot the old family homes of some of
the old. broken down, and miserably
poor aristocracy/ meei* a "Prince",
who has been financed by. a. sharp old
money lender for the very purpose of
siding him te bte efforts to marry
isis very rich daughter of the Ameri
can millionaire.
xThe scheming, plotting, and counter
-?Atting walch ' ls. Interspersed with
ii a room, and drawing room scenes
that are ?oo beautiful for description.
?re so tense with excitement that
when the climax ls reached you
4foel that yon are glad Indeed ifs
lover. Not that the picture wau not
enjoyed, hut the different situations
which fellowed one another io auch
rapid snoocsston ere so foll ot dra
matic possibilities that you are all
