MAJESTIC
TO-NIGHT There is more action in "A House Divided," which opened last night at the Majestic Theatre, than in half a dozen ordinary screen plays. And "A House Divided" is not an ordinary picture in any sense,, It is one which is filled with tense drama, with a high quality_of acting contributed by a superlative cast, and an engrossing story which sheds new light on the age-old problem of "the eternal -triangle?" A most dramatic situation develops when a young man falls in love with his father's new mail-order bride, and the father discovers the condition which exists. The three leading players in this fast-moving screen story are Walter Houston, Helen Chandler and Xent Douglass, and all deliver performances which are exceptional for their strength and realism. No picture of the current season has presented a trio whose work is more uniformly excellent. Others who do good work are Yivian Oakland, Frank Hagney and Lloyd Ingraham. j The locale of "A House Divided" is full of colourful interest, with the scenes laid in a fiishing village on the Northwestern coast of the United States. Many of the incidental charaeters are the rough, elemental men of the wild timber country.
