MAJESTIC TO-NIGHT
"Greatest casf" is a familiar phrase in connection with film offerings, but the term seems to fit the aggregation found in First National's most ambitious film of the year, "Kismet," now at the Majestic Theatre. Of course, the cast roster begins with the glamorous " name *' of Otis Skinner, playing the role he has made famous on stage and screen throughout the world, Hajj, the beggar. Loretta Young enacts the daughter role, and David Manners that of the Caliph. Both the young stars paused in their own programme of films to appear together in the romantic leads of this particularly important screen play. The settings, representing Bagdad, most colourful and exotic of cities at a time wlien it was the crossroads of fche world of caravan routes, are extraordinary in art and lavishness.
