Tlie iinal presentation takes place to-night) at tne Majestic llieatie ul ■‘.tier Man o’ War” featuring Jetla Goudal and William Boyd, and ‘Black Magic” starring Josephine Dunn and Henry Waitliall.

with the tnruo oi Papuan drums and the shadowy terrors of the Papuan busii as the psychological bacKground lor a fascinating drama of the South Seas, “Black Magic” strikes a new note in pictures ot this type. It is in many respects a radical departure from the conventional pruduAtions with a tropiclocale, and its ingenious “fear plot and basis of native sorcery make it unusually interesting and absorbing. “Her Man o’ War” is a delightful picture, a new story of the war, vibrant with thrill and laughs—a noble thenu: of abiding love, at once romantic, appealing, delightful. Two Gazettes nuj an entertaining comedy complete the programme.

“GUNS OF LOOS” TO-MORROW

Based un fact, is an original story “Guns of I Joes” the big attraction at tlie Majestic to-morrow, both matinee and night screenings. Never before, in a British picture, naive such thrilling scenes, as those depicting the effort at Loos to save the English guns, been seen.

How exactly the wild ride of the men over war’ scarred and shellholed country, with gun limbers rlocking, from sido to side, was secured, is a secret which neither Sinclair Hill, the director of the film, nor hxs cameramen, will divulge. Henry Victor, who plays the leading part, in tlie film is seen as John Grim law, while Madeleine Garroll, Donald MuCaVdle, Bobby Howes, Hermione Baddeley and Adeline Hayden-Coflhi appear in the other important roles. The second feature is “Guardians of the Wild” with Rex, king of wild horses as the star. In addition two Gazettes and mv Baby Snookurns ..cornedv will bo shown. Box plan at Tattersall and Bayly’s.
