The patrons were unanimous In proclaiming "Love, Life and Laughter" the greatest picture eve¥ produced by George Pearson, and when it is considered that this {genius is' responsible for such great productions as "The Better Ole," "Squibbs Wins the Calcutta Sweep," "Nothing Else Matters," etc., one has some idea of the magnitude of_the present produuction. Y This splendid drama of romance and advefiture has received the un. stinted praise of all who have seen it. The noted screen star is seen at her very best, and the picture will long live in the minds of those who have seen fit. ee ---- " Engineers Did Good Work.
