INTENSE DRAMA
 COMBINED WITH
 COMEDY RELIEF
Dressler Barrymore Team Gives Something New
 Tn Personalities

Marie Dressler and Lionel Bar rymore, a co-starring team new to the screen, give picture fans something decidedly new both in personalities and in a story ln Her Sweetheart" now playing at the Capitol Theatre.
 In the first place, the story is intense drama, though amid it's heart throbs and human touches are many comedy interludes. The contrasting work of Miss Dressler and Barrymore is interesting in the tale of the New England country doctor who, under the lash of avarice, turns from an honest, kindly soul to a grasping schemer, only to be guided back to his lifelong path of honor by the faith of an old servant.
 Metro Goldwyn Mayer adapted it from the famous New York stage play, "The Late Christopher Bean" The story concerns the posthumus fame of long dead artist, his paintings suddenly dis covered to be worth fabulous for tunes, and the turmoil this casts into the home of the country doc- tor who had most of them.
