MAJESTIC THEATRE

TO-DAY AND TO-NIGH.T "A" CERTIFICATE ? "Rebound," RKO Pathe's picture version of the Donald Ogden Stewart play which opens to-day at the Majestic Theatre, is a well written and well acted, sophisticated com'edy reminiscent of the Phillip Barry type, of story. It is not often that we have a chance of seeing a picture that has a uniform quality of excellence in every phase. ilt usually happens that if the dialogue is good, the actors cannot deliver it well — or if the actors are good, the story is poor . Here we have a charming story with excellent dialogue throughout and actors who know how to talk. Ina Claire, who plays the starring role, gives a performance that is well balanced and intelligent. Sh'e makes the most of the high spots of the picture without over-acting in the slightest degree. She speaks her lines naturally. Just as she was on the stage, Miss Claire is a finsihed actress on the screen. An excellent supporting cast makes this film altogether an enjoyable one, Robert Williams, a stage actor of importance, who appeared in the stage version of "Rebound," makes a charming "Johnnie." Robert Ames does well as Bill. Myrna Loy, who is good to look at and a good actress besides, is splendid as Evie. Hedda Hopper, Ifale Hamilton, "Walter Walker, Louise Closser Hale and Leigh Allen all give admirable performances.
