MAJESTIC

TO-NIGHT \ f t . .. i ■. . U . . . : . A belligerent, two-fisted sea captain will swagger oii to the screen at the Majestic Theatre to-night, and, while

storms rage, ships flounder in mountainou.s seas,. men battle for their . lives in a pitiless sea, he will thrill you as no other screen character has I thrilled you ever. | For this belligerent sea captain is none other than George Bancroft, : deep-chested Parainount star, fighting to keep a .sluggish tramp .steamer afioat througlx the fury of a tropical storm.

i .Out of the angry night, comes the frantic stacatto signal of a. ship in dis*tress. "S.O.S."— "S.O.S."— And he knows _ that, aboard the floundering craft is the one man in the world he haites, and' the woman who . doublecrossed him! .That's the climatic situation qf "Derelict," the picture that takes George Bancroft from the underwoHd, and sends him to sea. ,, "Derelict" is a great story for Bancroft... In. it he. has the type of characterisation which has won him universal fame, in a new setting, .in a siqry with a, new theme, against the. ever-fascinating background of the sea. ..In .the c.ast are Jessie Rqyce Landis and William JBoyd. . Rowland V. Lee, maker of "The Wolf of Wall Street," and . "Ladies Love Brutes," directed "Derelict."
