MAJESTIC TO-NIGHT
Norma Talmadge, United Artists star appear3 at the Majestic Theatre to-night in "Du Barry, Woman of Passion." She gives piquancy and extraordinary charm to the lovely milliner who brought a nation to her feet, ruled a king, and lavished the gold of the country for her whims until the red shadow of revolution swept her to disaster. Splendid performances are given by Conrad Nagel, " as her soldierlover, and William Farnum, as the king who tempted her with riches and power. Thi3 is Farnum's first appearance on the screen since his retirement because of illness at the height of his success several years ago. Sam Taylor, producer-director, has told an absorbing story, enriching talking pictures with another classic. The setting3 of the drama are magnificent, a eredit to the colorful imagination of William Cameron Menzies, supervising art director.
