“DR EHRLICH'S MAGIC BULLET”
The life stories of Pasteur and Zola, also from the Warner Bros, studio, and now the arresting “ Story of Dr Ehrlich’s Magic Bullet,” which comes to the Empire Theatre to-morrow, make a memorable trio. It so happens that Ehrlich was a friend.of Pasteur, and carried on some of the work that the French scientist started. Like Pasteur, he sought constantly to' establish an ever closer relationship between medicine and chemistry He named and sought that recurrent dream of every sincere microbe hunter, a “magic bullet’* which would kill microbes just as a cartridge from a rifle will kill big game. For Dr Ehrlich this dream came true to the infinitely great benefit of all mankind. •.
