one of the finest examples of his
trionic ability, rarely, if ever,

coming of this splendid attraction,
as they feel confident that the pub
lie will respond in great numbers

claimed by many critics all over the

Parade" are the two leading num-
bers of the picture and are said to
be destined to become popular favor
ties.
Ernst Lubitsch directed THE Love
Parade" jeanette Macdonald must
cal comedy star, has the leading
feminine role. When in search for d
girl for this part, Lubitsch attended
every musical show in production in
search of a perfect type he desired
for the role of Queen Louise. Miss
Macdonald was chosen.

picture are portrayed by Lillian
Roth and Lupino Lane.
