STRAND
“THE LOVE PARADE” Maurice Chevalier, that irrepressible star of the Paris musical comedy stage, whose first appearance in "Innocents of Paris” won for him legions of admirers, makes his second appearance on the screen in "The Love Parade,” now at the Strand, Theatre —a gay, lavishly produced operetta, a charming imaginary kingdom satire, interspersed with song and music. Beautifully photographed, handsomely mounted and featuring half a dozen songs destined to be the hits of the season, "The Love Parade” emerges as a distinctive picture, brilliantly directed and acted with great zest and evident enjoyment by the incomparable Chevalier and his fine supporting cast. “The Love Parade” is romance, comedy, song and dance, photographed against a stunning background, allowing the camera to function with full freedom and thereby imbuing it with delightful, unrestrained action that only imaginative direction and excellent acting can give it. "The Love Parade” is buoyant, unfettered, always original, *a structure made to order for the dashing Chevalier and his beautiful leading lady, Jeanette MacDonald. The Strand programme also includes a number of shorter talking and singing items.
