MAJESTIC THEATRE.
"WILD COMPANY." That modern fathers, in America at any rate, allow their children too much money and too much liberty, and are generally too indulgent to them, is the moral of the story told in "Wild Company," the picture at the Majestic Theatre this week. In this most dramatic talkie, which is very human and intensely emotional, 11. B. Warner has the lea.ding part. He is undoubtedly one of the most gifted actors on the talking screen at present. Further, he has a very pleasant speaking voice, which even when he is speaking softly, carries clearly to the back ot the theatre. Warner takes the part of a aD d honourable man, highly 'respected, and one of tho 4 'big'* men of the town. His son, to be frank, is something of a waster, for he does very little work, and is content to live on the very generous allowance his father gives him. The son constantly keeps late hours, but his father is content in the thought, 4 'Ho is my son. He will com© to no harm, and he is old enough to look after himself." Eventually it is the father's unpleasant and difficult duty to hand his son over to the police.
