MAJESTIC THEATRE

TO-DAY AND TO-NlGHT "My Sin," a thrilling sbcial drama, . will be presented at the Majestic ; Theatre to-night. \- "My Sin" tells the story of the redemption of two human derelicts almost submerged, one through wild living, the other by the toucli of remorseless circumstances. Yet, character remains — and through the influence of an undertaking love their broken lives are mended. Tallulah Bankhead and Fredric March, co-stars of great talent and versatility, carry the burden of the story, supported by a cast of superb artists of reputation on the stage. The picture opens with a Panama setting. March, shabhy, and unsh'aven, portrays, "Dick Grady." He resents being called a beggar by a former acquaintance whom he asks for money. He meets '^Carlotta," portrayed by Bankhead, and interest develops, and is graphically portrayed and vividly dramatised. A man is murdered and "Carlotta" is held for the crime and "Grady," a lawyer defends her. She is acquitted, Then for both "Carlotta Ann Trevor" and "Dick Grady" life starts over again and they climb all the way back. The story is gripping; the sqenes varied and vivid. Mitzi Green and Jackie Searl, clever kid actors who were last seen together in the now famous "Skippy," with Jackie Cooper, are again teamed for th'e. laughs in "Forbidden Adventure," the filmisation of Sinclair Lewis' humorous novel, "Let's Play King." "Forbidden Adventure" will open to-day at the Majestic Theatre. "Forbidden Adventure"' jtells the story of two rival mothers who raise their kids to be child luminaries of the screen. After they succeed in this, they take the youngsters to London to rneet the boy king of Slovaria, for a publicity stunt. But amazing things happen to them all — and the picture winds up in a series of exciting events, richly interwoven with the laughs. Thus we have a combination of all manner of fun-producing methods in this sure-fire show. There is the rival mother angle. The mischi'evous kids angle. The thrill angle. The comedy-from-situation angle. In fact, every angle provocative of audience-laugh-ter except the triangle. Those who see "Forbidden Adventure" will he newly rich in laugh experience.
