MISSPELLED NAME.
Montagu Love invariably sees his name spelled Montague, but he long since gave up trying to correct the error. It is his real name, he related on the set of "One of the Boston Bullertons" at Universal, and it was his mother's maiden name. He doesn't know why it is always misspelled, since* Shakespeare in "Romeo and Julet'.' spelled Romeo's last name Montagu—and no one, says Love, ever misspells Capulet, which was Juliet's name. Anyway, Love hasn't done anything about it since his first effort many years ago when he arrived from his native England as a handsome young leading man. "The agent for the play I was in put stories in the papers about Montague Love," Montagu relates. "I spoke to the man one day, telling him 'There is no final 'c' on my name.' He said he would fix that right away. So the next day the papers carried stories about Montague Lov."
