"LADIES MUST LOVE"

Charming Picture At King's

A terrific knock-down-and-drag- our between three girls is one of the highlights of "Ladies Must Love, the Universal musical picture at the King's Theatre with Knight and Neil Hamilton in fea- tured roles.

Dorothy Burgess, Sally O'Neill and Mary Carlisle are the battling beauties who make a shambles out of a beautiful penthouse apart- ment, while Miss Knight, who shares the luxurious abode with the other girls, is an innocent bystāṇ- der during the fray.

Vases, pictures, books, lamp shades and all other movable fur ishings serve as missiles in the rousing conflict, and the wreakage that greets the eyes of the astonish ed landlord when he finally bursts in the door is enough to make a manager moan. The ruin is com- plete. It is the best battle ever seen in this town

Dorman Long & Co, also asked for confirmation on a reduction of theft capital from £11,248,143 to £1,750,878.

The petitions were opposed by shareholders of the South Dur- ham Steel and fron Co. and de- benture holders of Dorman Long. & Co...

Bis lordship directed that fresn meetings be held of all the share and debenture holders concerned.. and adjourned the petitions until after these meetings.

Mr. Justice Maugham said the function of the Court was to see that the scheme had been passed by "the necessary statutory ma- jorities, and that it was one which an intelligent and honest man, a member of the class, concerned, and acting in his interests as such, might reasonably approve.

The scheme was attacked" o both grounds, and huge sims were involved.
