Can there be a pure friendship between a man and a beautiful woman? “Lovers?”, Ramon Novarro’s latest starring vehicle for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. now at the Cosy Theativ, answers that question in a startlingly vivid manner that will linger for a long time in the memory of every picture-goer who sees it. Laid in the romantic settings of modern Spain, it is filled with the gaiety of life in a Spanish city, and tells the gripping, enthralling storv of a family whose lives are wrecked and all happiness destroyed bv a hidden enemy with whom they cannot cope—the enemy of whispering tongues and scandal. Alic© Terry enacts the part of the woman—an innocent young wife who sinks in the sea of slander the gossiping city has caused. This is the first time for nuite a while that Novarro and Miss Terry have played opposite each other, and as they are one of the famous pairs of screen lovers, their appearance together promises unrivalled entertainment. There are thrills galore in the new picture, and a sensational sword duel between Novarro and John Milinn is one ol the spectacular features included.
