MAJESTIC

“LOVE HUNGRY” TO-MORROW To-night, Auckland picturegoers will have their last chance of viewing Princess Te Puea’s Maori Maids and Warriors at the Majestic Theatre, where they have experienced a very successful season. To-night will also see the final screening of “The Divine Woman,” and the final presentation of the beautiful musical programme provided by Mr. Whiteford-Waugh and his Majestic Orchestra.

The new programme to be presented at the Majestic Theatre to-morrow Is a programme out of the ordinary, for not only will there be screened the usual high-class pictorial programme, but “Jasper’s Limited,” that very popular Pierrot -Troupe, will be appearing on the stage. A varied and delightful programme has been arranged, and it includes music and harmony, and endless fun. [Several very amusing short sketches will be presented, and these will include “When the Ladder Fell,” “Red Tape,” an “Exposure” of the Pensions Department, and “When the Opera Came to Church,” wi t h Torchy Orford as the parson. The music for this last attraction was arRev. Jasper Calder ranged by the Rev. Jasper Calder. Other very delightful numbers on the programme is a choral song, “The Volga Boatmen,” “Three Minutes With Jasper,” when one can be quite sure that the fun will be endless, a humorous song by Charles Massee, a very beautiful musical number, “Mississippi Ripples,” and Jasper’s Medley. “Love Hungry,” with Lois Moran and Lawrence Gray, is the chief pictorial attraction. It is primarily a story of youth, but with many new and surprising angles from which the audience is given intimate glimpses of how and who writes the advice to the love-lorn letters in newspaper offices. Also r . for once, the busy editorial rooms of a metropolitan paper are shown as they really are, and not as they are usually pictured. Lawrence Gray is the hard-boiled hack writer who gives out advice on affairs of the heart, and Lois Moran the little chorus girl who tries to follow it by accepting attention from a rich man. But since both are “love hungry” for each other they find themselves in the situation of doing what reason tells them is right, but which their hearts inform them is wrong. Included on the supporting programme will be a New Zealand scenic, an amusing Aesop Fable, and the everpopular Majestic Magazine. A very enjoyable programme will be provided by Mr. Whiteford-Waugh’s Majestic Orchestra, who will play a special musical programme.

Norma Talmadge and Gilbert Roland, first seen together in “Camille,” again play together in “The Dove,” shortly to be seen in Auckland. In this colourful story, Nliss Talmadge is Dolores, a South American charmer and dancer. Noah Beery is the usual villain, and the ardent Roland is the romantic lover of the fair Dolores,
