TOIWN HALL. The story of “Love’s Option,” the Paramount British release, which comes to the Town Hall on Wednesday, opens with some striking steenes in a .South . American tcppjir mine. The mine is working .0 full blast, and we :are given interesting glimpses of • the mining operations. 'Copper mining is one of the important industries in South America, and keeps many thousands employed. The incidents that happen in the South American mine form the introduction to a remarkable story, which tells of one -man’s desperate endeavour to ruin another. The leading feminine role in the picture is played by the .popular English actress, Dorothy Boyd, and the male lead is played by Pat Aherne, who was also seen in a .similar role in Sir Harry Lauder’s first motion picture, “Huntingtower,” which was released by Paramount during 1928. With serial, comedy and News. Usual prices. Patrons who say that they are tired of “sob stuff” should not lose the opportunity of seeing “One of the Best,” at the Town Hall on Friday. Here we have a real .military melodrama, with the persecuted hero, the weeping heroine, and two swaggering villains. The story is full of punch and go, there are two very fine fights, and in the end the hero and heroine come into their own, while the two villains pay the price to the uttermost. Usual pifoes.
