MAJESTIC, TO-NIGHT.

There is nothing so. satisfying and fascinating to the moving picfeure goer than to know the scenes they are loolcing at in a talkie production are genuine. For example, "Tilly of Bloomsbury," the British film whieh opens at the Majestic Theatre tonight has numerous shots taken in and around London. These scenes are entirely genuine and void of any studio faking. The locale of the film is Blooms- { bury, a suburb adjoining* London, and the film was photgraphed in Bloomsbury. In doing this the producers have enhanced the appeal of "Tilly of Bloomsbury" by being ahle to correetly present the atmosphere necessary to give that much-desired air of reality. Phyliss Konstam, charming English star of "The Skin Game" occupies the leading role as "Tilly," while Sydney Howard, frozen faced comedian of "Splinters," supplies _ his brand of wit that will keep you in a continual flutter of merriment. SATURDAY. "Flying High," Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's new comedy with music, which opens at the Majestic Theatre on Saturday, September 17, is a gorgeously funny satire on aviation and aviators. It features Bert Lahr, America's most imitated comedian, as a "nut" inventor of a new airship, and Charlotte Greenwood in the role of Pansy Potts, a waitress of highly amorous proclivities. This pair rollicks through a ridiculous melange of laughs linked together by some mighty tuneful songs, and the grand performances of such supporting players as Pat O'Brien, Kathryn Crawford, Charles Winneiger and Hedda Hopper. Second Feature. An exciting photoplay, combining a dramatie, colourful love story with the intrigue and "inside" infiuences of a big city political ring, comes to the Majestic Theatre on Saturday. Ths picture is "The Secret Call," and features Richard Arlen and Peggy Shannon, a new and charming young actress. "The Secret Call" tells the story of a young girl, Wanda Kelly, who, at the risk of her love and happiness, sets out to avenge the death of her father, a victim of the ruthless tactics of a powerful political boss, Jim Blake. Her determination to expose Jim Blake forees her to hreak her engagement to Blake's son, Tom. From this point, "The Secret Call" builds impressively to a startling and convincing climax as V anda, •through unsual circumstances, secures information that will wreck Jim Blake's political career. There is a twist to the plot's development that adds a vigorous quality to the picture's eonclusion. As Wanda Kelly, Peggy Shannon, a beautiful ana talented recruit from the New York stage, gives a performance of charm and distinction. And Richard Arlen as the son of the political boss, jim Blake, adds another gogd purtrayal to his long list of well drawn roles.
