“EAST SIDE, WEST SIDE”

Only two more days remain of the screening of “the novelty melodrama ; of the year,” “East Side, West Side,”;, that has been drawing crowded houses j to the Majestic this week. “East Side, W'est Side,” has what is j considered an excellent motion picture | plot. It is rich in New York atmos- • phere and surrounds the activities of j a young man, reared in the poorest • part of the city, who battles his way : to ownership of a mansion on Fifth j Avenue. All of New York’s celebrated sec- » tions have a part in the story, the i Bowery, East Side, West Side, Hell’s ■ Kitchen, Gas House district, Red Hook ; Point, the Bronx, Washington Heights, ; Park and Fifth Avenges. George O’Brien, Virginia Valli and J. Farrell Macdonald play the leading roles in this picture, which is based on Felix Riesenberg’s novel. The Majestic Orchestra, under Mr. j Whiteford-W'augh, provides the usual ; first class musical programme, spec- i ially featuring as the interlude “Turkish Patrol,” a unique orchestral nov- ; elty. I An amusing Aesop Fable, “Amelia Comes Back,” an interesting Majestic Magazine, an Eve’s Review with a short colour film of the latest Parisian fashions, a beautiful English scenic of “Lincoln,” the cathedral city in the Fen Country, and a comedy, “Ukulele Sheiks,” conclude the supporting programme.
