MAJESTIC THEATRE
TO-DAY AND TO-NIGHT. Departing widely from their customary type of vehicle, Janet Gaynor 1 and Charles Farrell prove to be more romantic and more picturesque than ever in "Tess of the Storm Country," which opened last night at the Majestie Theatre. In the' colourful role of a sea-cap-tain's daugh'ter who comes to live ashore foT the first time in her life, and who finds hotly her bravery and er tempestuous disposition severly tried by the various obstacles she meets, Miss Gaynor gives orie of the best performances in her entire career. Farrell, as the millionaire's son who is disowned by his irrascible father because of his interest in the heroine, likewise comes through with a flawless portrayal. Alfred Stantell's fine direction and te brilliant work of a supporting cast headed by Dudley Digges, Claude Gillingwater, June Clyde and Edward Pawley, add to the realism and entertainment qualities of this Fox Flra production. Most oi the action takes p^ace aboard a big schooner and around a rocky cove on .the New England coast, providing a thoroughly marine atmosphere to the picture, and one very fitting to its swift action and many dram'atic moments.
