Quick calculation showed this to be, in effect, a 20% undercut of telegraph rates. Seductive may be the lure of the added two words. Useful addenda to many a message: "much love;" "feeling fine;" "home soon;" "lovely weather;" "send check...
...Dream of Love has what millions of cinema fans want-a beautiful heroine (Joan Crawford) and a handsome hero (Nils Asther) making love in a romantic setting (the mythical Kingdom of Kuremme).
