MAJESTIC THEATRE

TO-DAY AND TO-NIGHT Murders, masters, deteetives, hypnotism, abductions, and diabolically plotted "accidental" deaths, all? spaced at _ breath-taking tempo, make "Secrets of the French Police" one of the best pictures of its kind ever screened or written. See it, by all means, at th'e Majestic Theatre. As taken front the memoirs of H. Ashton-Wolfe, and co'inbined with Samuel Ornitz's amazing story, "The Lost Enipress," this RKO-Radio picture offers all the thrills possible to pack into an hour and a half of screen entertainment. Gwili Andre, as the lovely Paris flower girl wh'o is abducted by Czarist plotters, hypnotised, ,and presented as the missing Princess Anastasia of Russia, fulfills all the promise she revealed in her early pictures. Gwili Andre is considered by many to be the most beautiful woman onj the screen to-day. After seeing her in this picture it is little wonder how the impression got out. A newcomer makes his bow in "Secrets of the French Police." He is John Warburton, as handsome and as ! ahle a young leading man as ever came from England to America. Radio signed him to a five year contract as a result of his work opposite Miss Andre. That fact is adequate comment on his appearance and his abilities. Another deserving of the highest pr.a.ise is Frank Morgan, who as gne of Bertillon's deteetives, gives a plausibility to the part that makes it stand out from all others in the story. Others who cdme in for high praise are Geoffrey Ratoff, Arnold Korff, Christian Rub, and Lucien Prival.
