“CRADLE SNATCHERS”

COMING TO MAJESTIC .-To-night-Majestic, patrons will have the last and only chance of seeing “Flesh and the Defii,” starring that famous team, Grata Garbo and John Gilbert, supported by Lars Hanson. To-morrow is the first day of another of the popular Majestic programmes, with “Cradle Snatchers” as the feature picture. : “Cradle Snatchers’’ is the story of three, wives, whose husbands take a fishing trip.. That is to say, they go fishing, but as a matter of fact they take three blondes on a little excursion .

The wives discover the deception, and hire three college boys to play the parts of slieiks to arouse their husbands’ jealousies. The boys are rather reluctant swains, who make love to the wives for purely monetary considerations, each having a sweetheart of his own. The husbands return to their wives and discover what has occurred during their absence, believing it to b© real unfaithfulness on their wives’ parts. And while they are at the height of their denunciations and the wives and their hired lovers frightened out of their wits, the husbands* blondes turn up.. The resulting situations are hilariously funny, and as Percy Hammond in tlie “Herald Tribune,” says: “It is a sermon.” 13ut a screamingly ludicrous sermon. The supporting programme will be composed .of a Majestic News, an Eve’s Review and an amusing comedy. Mr. AVhiteford-Waugh’s Majestic Orchestra will render a bright musical programme, and will specially feature the overture “Jolly Robbers.” So popular was the programme presented by Kamo, “the wizard of the b.an jo-mandolin,” that the Majestic management has arranged for this talented artist to appear for another short season in an entirely new programme of whirlwind varieties. Kamo will present another delightful programme which will include the most popular numbers from his extensive repertoire.
