AMUSEMENTS.
THEATRE ROYAL. "LETTERS OF FIRE" AND "THE AGE FOR LOVE." A now Biltie Uove is revealed to tho motion picture public in "The Age for Love," which will open at tho Theatre Royal to-day. After more than a year of vacation and preparation, the charaiug aiid talented Miss ■Dove lias beeu brought back to tho screen by Howard lluglies iu a brilliant vehicle which at last justifies her great beauty and ability. Hailed heretofore as "tho most beautiful woman on the screen," Miss Dove, iu "Tho Ago for Lovo," u United Artists' release, proves she is a great actress as well. She is a positive revelation, and by her performance in this picture slio has more than regained tor old-time popularity, and again takes her placo among tho premier actresses of the screen. Supporting Miss Dove is on© of tho most brilliant casts ever rovealcd iu a picture. .It includes Edward Everett Horton,* Lois Wilson, Mary Duncan, and Charles Starrett, who plays opposite Miss Dove. "Tho Ago for Love" is an ultra-modern story of lovo and marriage—it goes direct to tho heads and hearts of every normal person —it both thrills and amuses —and no ono who patronised pictures should fail to seo it. "Letters of Fire," tho First -National melodrama of tabloid journalism, starring Edward U. Kobinson, will be tho other feature. Those who havo seen Jt agree that tho star tops his performances iu "Littlo Caesar" and "Smart. Money." llig portrayal of tho managing editor of a scandal sheet, who finally rebels against tho policy of tho paper to wreck lives for tho sake of boosting circulation, is dynamic aud intwisely human. Tho brilliant support includes Marian Marsh, H. U. Warner, Authony Busholl, George E. Slono, Frances Starr, Oua Munson, Boris Karloff, Robert Elliot, Aline MacMahon, Purnol Pratt, and David Torrcnco.
