MAJESTIC THEATRE
TO-NIGHT. A gamin of the streets rai§pd" to' fame as an actress of sophi'sticated drawing-room comedies ' under the untiring tutelage of a manager who adored her; then a scandal ■ that smeared her fame with notoriety! But under the_^ glamour, rom'ance, puhlicity and hullahaloo — beneath her ! tempers and smiles — despite her . morals and quarrels — she was just | a woman with an unsatisfied domestic complex — just a motherly soul | longing with' a great heartache to ■ croon "Rockabye" over a sleeping child! This • fascinating character — part enchantress, part homebody — -is Judy Garroll, heroine of "Rockabye," the picture starring Constance Bennett and featuring Joel McCrea and Paul Lukas, which opens to-nig.ht at the Majestic Theatre. It ig small wonder that Constance Bennett had a consuming desire to play "Rockabye." Rich' in emotion, temperament and human desires, it is the sort of characterisation every dram-atic actress prays for and finds so seldom. By such roles talent is measured, and Miss Bennett promises to show her admirers a new power and glamour — a new dramatic stature.
