Great outdoor battle scenes, in
which infantry, cavalry, artillery
and tanks are seen in action: the
imposing faeadeS, vast halls and
rooms of kinglv palaces built in
days when size as well as elegance
we're stressed; magnificent and spa
cious gardens; crooked, narrow and
picturesque village streets; thrilling
cavalry and automobile pursuit
scenes over winding and mountain
Gus roads to Monte Carlo. These
are some of the reasons why critics
i'll other cities have hailed THE
Love Toy, as one of the most
spectacular as well as one of the
most entertaining offerings of the
current picture season.
