PRINCE EDWARD

“PAID TO LOVE” For the dissemination of fact and the playful use of alliteration, “Paid to Love” is a rollicking review of a royal romance. It’s the Fox picture which comes to the Prince Edward Theatre to-night, with George O’Brien and Virginia Valli in the leading roles. J. Farrell Macdonald, as the rich American, who, of course, substitutes for Sir Daniel Cupid, is as funny a comedian as he ever was, which is saying a great deal. The story deals with a mythical kingdom, the crown prince of which is more interested in mechanics than women. The old king would have his elder son marry and produce heirs, rather than remain single and produce strange noises in. the royal garage with his blooming machinery.

Reginald Denny, Universal’s famous farce comedy star, fulfilled a life-long ambition when he completed his role in “Out All Night,” the Universal super comedy. Denny, although still a young man, has travelled all over the world and seen practically everything of interest on the globe, but with all he has never been able to satisfy one particular craving. He has always wanted to be an officer on a large ocean liner. In his role in “Out AH Night.” he was required to masquerade as the ship's surgeon. “Even if it was only a sham,” explained the star, “I got a big kick out of the uniform. Especially when we went on location aboard the ocean liner and the regular passengers actually thought I was an admiral or something.”
