“THE THREE PASSIONS” The current programme at the Majestic Theatre will be screened for the last time this evening:. This includes the spectacular aerial film, “The Air Circus,” starring Sue Carol, David Rollins, and Arthur. Lake, also “Dream of Love.” a tale of a Royal romance in the Balkans, starring Joan Crawford. Alice Terry and Ivan Petrovitcli are co-stars in Rex Ingram’s first United Artists’ picture, which opens at the Majestic tomorrow. It is the third picture in which they have played under Ingram’s direction. English scenes in “The Three Passions” have as their backgrounds the venerable Balliol College at Oxford University the famous Armstrong engineering works at Newcastle; and London in its most fe fashionable West f End and distressing ' East End aspects. Interiors made at Ingram’s studio at Nice include sets x huge shipyard, a millionaire’s mansion in Park Lane, London, and an ultra-modern restaurant in the British capital, and, it is said, were erected on a scale previously unknown in France. Money, religion, love, are “The Three Passions” which, clashing in the surroundings of modern London, as they have through the ages, provide Rex Ingram with the motif for this latest film. Shayle Gardner, well known on the British stage and screen; Claire Eames, famous as a Shakespearean actress, and who has played Queen Elizabeth on the screen; Andrews Engleman, the Russian actor who made a name in “Mare Nostrum”; and Leslie Faber, well known in both London and New York theatres, are leading members of the strong cast of “The Three Passions.” At the head of the bright supporting programme tomorrow will be a rollicking comedy of the Royal Navy entitled “You Know What Sailors Are.” Other items will be an Eve’s Review and a Majestic News, with views of world interest, and new musical numbers by Mr. Whiteford Waugh’s Orchestra.
