ENTERTAINMENTS

MAJESTIC THEATRE: PETER B. KYNE'S “THREE GODFATHERS” Peter B. Kyne’s most wonderful story “The Three Godfathers,” or “Hell’s Heroes,” as it was called in the original, comes to the .Majestic Theatre this evening as one of the most sensationally dramatic all-talking picture yet produced. It has romance, adventure, pathos and humour. It achieves suspense of a nature that has never been surpassed in motion pictures. Us action is shown against a canvass at once weird and awe-inspiring—the majestic, illimitable desolation of the great Mojave Desert. “The Three Godfathers” is a drama of regeneration and heroism. Three bad men of the west have fled into the desert after killing a. citizen in a hank holdup in the little frontier town of New Jerusalem. They find themselves with a new-born baby on their hands. They have promised the dying mother that they will bear the child safely to New Jerusalem. They have not enough water for such a journey. And they know that if, by a. miracle, they do reach New Jerusalem, lynch law awaits them there. From this central dramatic situation the story unfolds swiftly and poignantly. The film is marked by superb acting. Charles Bickford , Raymond Hatton and Fred Kohler give notable contributions to the ’art of the screen.

REGENT THEATRE : “STRICTLY UNCONVENTIONAL” In presenting “Strictly Unconventional” to-night at the Regent Theatre, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer offers a screen version of one of the biggest stage successes of both America and the Continent, namely W. Somerset Maugham's satire on marriage and morals “Tho Circle.” The cast includes Lewis Stone, Catherine Dale Owen, Ernest Torrence, Alison Skipworth, Tyrrell Davis, Mary Forbes, and the English actor Paul Cavanagh. The story, which lias been called a classic of satire, depicts the amusing recurrence of a domestic situation in the second generation of an aristocratic English family. A woman deserts her son to run awav with a man whom she loves more than her husband and returns thirty years later to find that the wife of her son contemplates a similar procedure because her husband is more interested in antique furniture than in her charms.

Miss Owen portrays the character of the beautiful bride who runs away from her husband on tho night of their wedding on account of his repulsiveness. Baxter enacts the role of the husband, who, after the desertion, disappears mysteriously from his expensive airplane while crossing the English Channel and later, under another name, has his face and body so completely remodelled by a famous plastic surgeon that even his wife fails to recognise him where he once more takes his place in society. Such notables of the ail-talking screen as Albert Conli, Hedda Hopper, Claude Allister and Bela Lugosi support the principals. “Such Men are Dangerous” will be screened at the Regent Theatre on Saturday next.
