"Desire" tells of a sensational jewel robbery executed by a breath-taking Continental beauty. She makes a jeweler think that a famous pathologist is her husband, and the doctor that the jeweler is her spouse. While they are busy misunderstanding one another, she skips off with the precious string of pearls, and meets an American engineer out for a glorious vacation. Out of a hilarious series of misunderstandings, an ardent romance emerges. The comedy and romance are skillfully blended in this picture which brings Miss Dietrich and Gary Cooper together for the first time since "Morocco." In the supporting cast are such popular players as John Halliday, William Frawley, Ernest Cossart, Aki Tamiroff and Alan Mowbray. Frank Borzage directed. "Desire" is perfect entertainment -- the happy combination of the romantic appeal of Gary Cooper and the allure of Marlene Dietrich, in a story peppered with the mischievous touch of Ernst Lubitsch. "AMATEUR GENTLEMAN" DUE HERE WITH "DRIFT FENCE" Monday and Tuesday Also Bring Festival Treats "Amateur Gentleman," film version of the stirring and colorful romantic novel, with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., in the title rold, and "Drift Fence," thrilling and dramatic romance with Larry "Buster" Crabbe, Katherine De Mille, Tom Keene and Benny Baker in the principal roles, are the two midweek Spring Festival attractions due on the same program at this theatre next Wednesday and Thursday, June 3 and 4. Jeffrey Farnol's colorful novel, "The Amateur Gentleman," comes to the screen of this theatre next week with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. in the title role, and with Elissa Landi in the feminine romantic lead. Here is the dashing, devil-may-care story of the way in which the young son of a champion prize-fighter avenges his father's honor -- recovers stolen jewels -- humiliates and subjugates the beautiful lady of quality responsible for his father's disgrace -- and falls in love with her himself! The romantic spirit of the novel is well preserved throughout. For lovers of romance and adventure, "The Amateur Gentleman" will prove a decided screen thrill!
