KING'S THEATRE. “THE LOVE PARADE.” ' For the second time within the short space of a year has Maurice Chevalier appeared at "the King’s Theatre to charm people with his personality. Chevalier’s new picture, fThe Love Parade,” is greater in charm, songs, investiture and story.than his previous picture, and the audience at the Australian premiere loudly applauded the first appearance of Chevalier on the screen. And following a long run a.t that theatre, his new picture comes to the King’s Theatre, commencing to-night. Chevalier in this picture is a young attache at the Paris embassy of the mythical kingdom of Sylvania. His philanderings with women calls forth censure and he is sent back to his country to report to his queen. Eventually he becomes Prince Consort, only to find that he has no power, even over the servants. How he turns the tables is full/ of laughs and intriguing situations. Jeanette MacDonald, a beauty from the stage, plays the role of the Queen, while [the comedy relief is provided by Lupino Lane and Lillian Roth.
