"DESIRE"

"Desire," the Paramount roman- tic comedy which had its local opening yesterday at the Majestic Theatre, brings together that ideal team of screen lovers, Marlene Dietrich and Gary Cooper. It is their first co-starring picture since "Morocco."

Those who see these stars in "Desire" must agree with Director Frank Borzage, who places them at the head of a list of famous screen lovers of all time.
