THE GRAND
LAST NIGHT OF “LOVERS?” “Lovers?” the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture, which will be shown at the Grand Theatre for the last time to-morrow, is a gripping romance of love and the peril of scandal, and has been filmed on a lavish scale as a starring vehicle for Ramon Novarro,
with Alice Terry featured at the head of a splendid cast. It is a play unique in that it has no conventional villain. His place is taken by the invisible tongues of scandal, which blight lives, wreck souls and cast three innocent people into a maelstrom of poisonous lies. The denouement is one of the most remarkable pieces of sheer drama ever brought to the screen. z Modern Spain is the locale of the story—a Spain as modern as anj 1 other city in Europe to-day. Ramon
Novarro is seen as a ycung playwright, thrown into a sensational scandal, with the wife of his best friend —although both ejc absolutely innocent. This situation is developed with rare knowledge of dramatic values from one climax t.o another. The cast, under the direction of John M. Stahl, is one of specie 1 interest, and includes Edward Alartindel, Edward Connelly, George K. Arthur, Lillian Leighton, John Miljan, Key D’Axcy and many other favourites.
