MAJESTIC
TO-DAY AND TO-NIGHT The final sereenings of Ronald Colman in "Raffles" takes place at the Majestic Theatre to-day and tonight. This programme has proved very popular. "Raffles" was to, criminals what Sherloclc Holmes was to detectives — a figure of mystery, aloof, aristocratic — a master artist, as sure and lceen in the perpetration of a crime as the great detectlve was in hunting out the criminal. Ronald Colman offers to the famous character all of its traditional daring and adventure, and an added charm that is peculiarly Colman. His sly humour, his crisp speech, his smooth and polished manner that are as integral a part of "Raffles" as they were.to "Bulldog Drummond." A gentle love story, warm in the feelings of real people, is interwoven through this thriller. That Kay Francis plays opposite Colman is its guarantee of ideal casting. To-morrow, Rex Beach's powerful story, "The Spoilers," featuring Gary Cooper, will b© presented.
