TO-NIGHT.

The gay affairs of a master lover are depicted in "The Boudoir Diplomat," the Universal special production with an all-star cast, which will be the next attraction at the Majestic Theatre to-night. The roster , of players includes Betty Compson, Ian Keith, Mary Duncan, Lawrence Grant, Jeanette Loif, Yionel Belmore and Andre Beranger, together with a large number of minor players." "The Boiidoir Diplomat" was personally produced by Carl Laemmle, Jr., head of the big Universal studios, which have given the screen world such butstanding successes as "All Quiet on the Western Front." The direction of this sparkling comedydrama was in the hands of Malcolm St. Clair, who has achieved unusual success in the making of clever, scintilating pictures of this type, notably "The Grand Duchess and the Waiter." The story of ""The Boudoir Diplomat" deals with the amorous adventures of a gay bachelor in the European diplomatic service- — a man who speealises in other men's wives until he finally secures one of his own. Betty Gompson and Mary Duncan are the wives in question, while the role of the philandering bachelor is played by Ian Keith. Jeanette Loif is seen as the true love to whom he finally loses his heart. The maze of intrigue surrounding the love adventures of the diplomat provides many delightful thrilling situations. A big list of supports are advertised. The wrestling match between Coleman and Pasha should attract a good crowd. A'oe Coleman, billed as the Yiddish Hercules, is famous for his flying ■tackle, which he uses to great advantage in his bout with Pasha, the Terrible Turk. This film, with its running comment on the bout by Tom Alley, light heavyweight champion of the world, and others of the wrestling fraternity, while above it all the yells from the crowded hall, make it the greatest sporting film yet screened.
