MAJESTIC

TWO BIG PICTURES A full evening of enjoyable entertainment is being offered theatre-goers at the Majestic Theatre. Comedy and drama are the characteristics of the two big. pictorial attractions. The first is Dolores Del Rio’s latest triumph, “No Other Woman,” a romantic story with gorgeous settings.* Practically all of the scenes are laid in Biarritz, France, the famous watering place that was the favourite haunt of the Empress Josephine. A French race track also figures prominently in pivotal sequence in which many well-known film characters appear in the grandstand.

Dolores Del Rio is seen as a wealthy South American belle,. Carmelito De Sana, sojourning in Biarritz with her reserved and dignified aunt, delineated by Rosita Marstini. She is loved by Maurice (Don Alvarado), who tears to tell his love lest the girl thinks it is her wealth that attracts him. His friend, Albert, impersonated by Ben Bard, has no such scruples, however. Her money would be a great asset to him in his gambling activities. With this in mind he proceeds to undermine Maurice. *

It is a powerful tale of primitive passions in fashionable society. Romance and comedy, intrigue and attack —that’s “No Other Woman.”

The second big picture is “Beware of Married Men,” a happy comedy in which Irene Rich lias one of the best roles of her career as Myra Martin, secretary to .a divorce lawyer. Myra’s serenity is disturbed by the interest shown in Helene, her younger sister, by one Sheldon, whose wife comes to Myra’s employer to get a divorce. Seeing the state of affairs, Myra disguises as a grey-haired “social worker” and invades the Sheldon home, barely escaping detection by the irate wife. The latest Majestic News, a beautiful picture of the Mount Egmdnt district, and another complete musical programme by Mr. J. Whitef ord Waugh’s orchestra, completes the entertainment. “FLYING COWBOY” AT EDENDALE Hoot Gibson in “The Flying Cowboy,” is the attraction at the Edendale Theatre this evening. With the ever-popular Hoot riding, fighting and loving throughout the picture, it should prove to bo crowded with action and regular cowboy stuff. Hoot’s personality and famous smile dominate the film. . The story is laid on a ranch where Gibson is employed to show the Eastern visitors real Wild West stuff. The cowboy does his best, but a pair of Chicago gangsters assist him in giving the guests plenty of thrills when they try to carry off the girl and her pearls. Hoot captures them after a terrific fight and superb lariat throwing. “Partners In Crime,” the latest comedy success of Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton, will also be shown..
