MAJESTIC THEATRE
TO-NIGHT. A dashing, daredevil aviatrix, a staid British statesman, a conservative wife and a modern daughter, are competently portrayed in realistic convinping fashion in a dramatic presentation of an emotional real life dilemma in "Chi'istopher Strong," which opened at the Majestic Theatre last night, with Kathrine Hepburn, Colin Clive and Billie Burke. The aviatrix, Cynthia, enters Sir_ Christopher Strong's family, causing" ! a romantic upheaval. Enthralled in flying .all her life, she is enthralled by .the love and romance she suddenly discovers with Christopher, who for 20 years had been enwrapped in parliamentary documents and a faithful wife. They taste their clandestine happiness for more than a year when Cynthia learns she is to have a baby. Realising th'e futility of continuing, she ends their affair dramatieally in • a fatal climax, returning Christopher to wife, daughter and career, and keeping her secret. Katharine Hepburn is Cynthia, convincing, realistic and engaging. A colourful actress, with attractive personality, Miss Hepburn is undcubte.ily en routa to stardom. Colin Clive's able characterisation of the title role is reminiscent of his Captain Stanhope in "Journey's End."
