INTERNES CAN'T TAKE MONEY

"Internes Can't Take Money," a highly romantic drama, is showing at the Queen's Theatre to-day, with that splendid pair of screen 'lovers, Barbara Stanwyck and Joel McCrea in the leading roles.

Both enact their parts, she as an unemployed girl with a past and he as a young interne, with the charm that has made them the favourite. Remantic flm pair of millions. Lloyd Nolan is also in the cast in a splendid role.
