MAJESTIC

“THE MAGIC FLAME” “The Magic Flame,” the thrilling romance of circus life which has been delighting many thousands of people daily at the Majestic Theatre, will have its final screening at that theatre to-morrow evening. The notable supporting programme which has also been much praised, and which is composed of a very novel and interesting Nature film, “Tiger Beetles,” the popular Majestic Magazine with beautiful scenes of the Niagara Falls in its winter garb, and scenes of the recent disastrous snowstorms and floods in England, and a Clyde Cook comedy, “Scared Stiff,” in which thrills and laughter are cleverly intermixed, will also have its final screening to-morrow night. On the stage is Miss Bettina Edwards as the solo dancer and six talented performers in a delightful scena, “Columbine and Harlequin.” Mr. Whiteford-'\yaugh and his Majestic Orchestra render a delightful orchestral programme. On Friday at the Majestic commences another of their notable programmes, with “Tea for Three,” starring the amusing comedy team. Lew Cody and Aileen Pringle. “Tea for Three” is a thoroughly entertaining example of modern sophisticated comedy. High-power thrills and screamingly funny comedy alternate throughout the picture, which describes the complications in the marital relationship of a very jealous husband and his pretty, alluring young wife, through the Intentional plotting of the husband’s “best friend.”

Aileen Pringle is talented and charming in the role of the wife, opposite Lew Cody, and she wears some exquisite frocks. The role enables her to show off t&r dark beauty and pretty figure to perfection. Owen Moore heads a distinguished supporting cast as Phillip Collamore, the Langford's “best friend,” and Owen’s legion of admirers will be immensely pleased with the splendid way he performs his important part.
