MAJESTIC
TO-DAY AND TO-NIGHT Teeming with thrills and suspense, "The Black Camel," comes to the Majestic Theatre to-day as a worthy suecessor to "Charlie Chan Carries On," and again with Warner Oland in the role of the suave Chinese detective. The direetor and scenarists of the former picture, respeetively, Hamilton MacFadden and Barry Connors and Philip Klein, also have repeated their previous success in transferring Earl Derr Biggers' exciting story to the speaking screen, but the plot of "The Black Camel," laid entirely in romantic Hawaii, is a very different one from the round-the-world affair of the preceding fihn. In the new picture the diplomatip, Charlie comes early on the scene when a famous screen star, Shelah Fane, is found mysteriously murdered on her luxurious estate at Waikiki Beach. There is a group of dinner guests, any of whom might have committed the crime, as well as several other suspects, and Charlie's job of finding the guilty man soon becomes a complicated one.
