EMPIRE
"THE LOVE MART’ The ancient and nefarious practice of slave-running is shown in “The Love Mart,” now being screened at the ■ Gmpire
with Billie Dove. Gilbert Roland and Xoah Beery in the leading roles. The American Government issued an edict in ISOS against the further importation of slaves into the States. Then began the practice of smuggling them
across the border, and the Gulf be-
can\e a veritable hot-bed of slavers, pirates and the riff-raff from the seven seas—all dealing in “black ivory.” Gilbert Roland has one of his finest roles in the part of Victor Jallot. Armand Kaliz plays the part of a Creole gentleman of fashion. Raymond Turner is a funny black servitor. Emile Chautard is a French gentleman of the old school, and other important players appear in various roles. On the same programme is an exciting drama of crooks cheating each other, entitled “Cheating Cheaters/’ starring Betty Compson and Kenneth Harlan.
