This same actor, Earle. Foxe, plays a villainous role in support

of Miss Francis and Fredric March for the Faramount comedy romance, "Strangers in Love," which the King's Theatre is now showing.

Foxe switched from hero.to "menace" characterisations several years ago. He alternates between acting and serving as president and general policy founder of one of the largest private military academies in the West, located in Southern California.

Foxe, who appeared in "Ladies of the Big House," is two inches
