WHAT IS THE LOVE OmEUS?

Yobtli of all ages of civilisation have suffered'from'-the complaint known by

the common term of love. It is not new or original, and all kinds of men are apt to be affected. But to find a cure for this, many of the ages produced love philtres, a,nd other concoctions designed to bring the lady or man of your affection to you. But what -has .all this to do with the picture you might a§fe? In "The Love Doctor," tho -latest Paramount picture at the King George Theatre netft Monday and Tuesday, Richard Dix as the love doctor himself, administers a love cure to one of the. ailing young" men in the picture; Dix is a doctor without practise and a confiiimed bachelor, despite the efforts of Miriam Seegar to trap him. He avows he will never fall in love, but wthen Joine Collyer comes .for a job. he gives her one, although he knows there is nothing to do, atfd he ( has no patients'to attend to. He does: riot know it, but he has fallen in love. And tJieri. comes the first^ patient, a young man in love, but wh,o is worrying:: his mother. It is Miriam &eesa\c \ whom he loves, and Dix accidentally hits upon it, and decides to cure 2rim and her. (But in doing so he falls in love himself, dßalls into a lake, -gets engaged to the wrong girl, and generally gets into trouible. "FRAMED." Bringing to the screen one. of the most ingenious and thrilling stories sinice the advent of" talking pictures, "jPraaned" all-taOiking drama, will give opening day audiences^sometMng to grow excited about at the Prince Edward Theatre on 24th September. George Archainbaud, tlte director, has taken ihis eaineraa into the very heart of tiae! underworld and gives his aijdfience tflie most intianatte contact with romance, intrigi(i€; and hatred of gangland. It is without doubt the "best ,story of its type yet seen in ipietures. Gorgeous costumes; mammotn; ' sets, shifting mobs and the destructionI 'of a bea-utiiCul 3 supper club by raiding officers of the law leave impressions that cannot be quickly forgotten.
