The offerings at the Central Square Theatre consisting of Richard Dix in "Lovin' the Ladies" and "The Vagabond King" with Dennis King are well above average. Both pictures are well worth the effort of the journey to the Cambridge Center.

Since his entry into the realm of light and "situation" comedy Mr. Dix is a much improved actor over the Dix of racing car melodramas. Tinged with a bit of Shavian deviltry the play depicts the plight of an electrician who for the sum of a few thousand dollars is willing to lower himself and become a gentleman. For some reason, and, she is fairly pleasant, he gets all mixed up in his singleness of purpose. The story ends happily, with Mr. Dix still an electrician. The picture is an amusing satire on the Ward McAllister type.

For anyone who hasn't as yet seen the "Vagabond King", if is an excellent counterpart to "Lovin the Ladies." Operettas are usually improved by the addition of Dennis King and this technicolor talkie is no exception. At times he ejaculates too heartily, but all in all he does a good performance. The histrionic efforts, however, are drawn down completely by O. P. Heggie, playing the part of Louis XI. He plays the role with such restraint and control that the actor is entirely submerged in the personage depicted. Jeannette McDonald and the stage-sets lend sufficient background and color.
