MAJESTIC THEATRE
BRILLIANT DRAMA. “LET US LIVE,” AND COMEDY, “START CHEERING”
“There. but for the grace of God. go I," may be considered the true theme of “Let Us Live.” now at the Majestic Theatre, with Maureen O'Sullivan, Henry Fonda and Ralph Bellamy featured. True motion picture entertainment in its sheerest sense, “Let Us Live” deftly weaves romance, murder, injustice, tragic error, fear and hope in brilliant fashion. It, is no exaggeration to say of “Let Us Live” that it possesses an idea to which everybody will respond. The story of ordinary people suddenly become the focus c-f a suspicious world. “Let Us Live" has to do with Brick Tennant, a taxi driver, and Mary Roberts, his sweet* heart. Fate plunges them from their obscurity to change their pitiful dreams of a modest happiness-to-'oa into a terror-stricken reality. The boy and his friend are accused and convicted of murder by the mistaken testimony of eye-witnesses and by circumstantial evidence appalling in its incrimination. The g'irl refuses to quit her desperate struggle to convince a hostile world that her sweetheart is innocent and the resulting drama is filled with suspense. "Start Cheering," the associate feature, is a rollicking college comedy with music starring Walter Connolly, Joan Perry, Charles Starrett, and a host ot' comedians.
