In “Fashions in Love,” the latest Paramount all-talking picture, one of the most popular and well known figures of the English stage plays in support of Adolphe Meujou, the star. She is Fay Compton, whose lyric soprano voice and fine talking are a distinct asset to this fine picture. Miss Compton was brought specially from England under contract to Paramount, and in addition to her. beauty, she plays an admirable part as the sympathetic wife of the temperamental musician, played by Meujou. Menjou speaks with a French accent, in keeping with the role, and the two form an ideal combination. “Fashions in Love” will be the attraction at the King's theatre to-night and to-morrow night.
