New: Picture Partners Rate Orchids for Film Orchids —in large quantities — are fated by Mary Pickford and Jesse L.! Lasky for “One Rainy Afternoon,” the first offering of their new producing affiliation, which brings Francis Lederer, Ida Lupino and a great cast te the Paramount Theatre today. For this gay, sparkling Parisian romantic comedy with incidental music is a sheer delight, from its opening shot to its finel fadeout. The very unusual plot is set in mo- tion when a dashing young Parisian actor (Lederer) kisses a strange beauty by mistake in a darkened cin- ema theatre. Out of this little mis- demeanor grows a series of highly entertaining developments, including @ trial which proves a laugh riot and from which Lederer emerges the most romantic figure in all Paris and a sensational musical star. Lederer, who Sings for the first time on the screen, has his perfect role at last, and he sings divinely. Blonde Ida Lupino is pretty, pert and charming as the “victim” of the cinema kiss and the pair make an ideal romantic team.
