THURSDAY AND FRIDAY

HuxTling into cinema prominence with a pace as fast as modern lifs, "Men of Chance" comes to the Majestie Theatre next Thursday with Max*y Astor and Ricardo Cortez cast in two of the most dynaxxxic screen roles in years. There ar»e no xnuted horns blowing in "Men of Chance." The film is a 'compelled blast of strong emotions and strong xnen and women built up to a strong dramatic climax. Geared to the fast tempo of Paris and other pleasure capitals, it reftacts the exhilarating pace of modern times in a story filled with the hates and the loves of a dominant man tricked by his enemies through th'e agency of the woman he marries. The film is hailed as a notahle achievement in xxxotion picture production by virtue of its intense action and adherence to the accepted principle that a motion picture is 'essentially a dramatic vehicle of xxxovement and stox-y. It is a story of men of chance and thoroughbred women, shiftiixg from the picturesque capitals of Europe and back again to America in a never-ceasing display of picturesque locales and elahorate settings. Directed by George Archainbaud with' a supporting cast composed of John Halliday, Kitty Kelly, Ralph Ince and Geoi'ge Davis, the film reaches a high mai*k iix its delineation of life as it is lived in the pleasure centres of the world.
