MAJESTIC
“THE IRON MASK” Three periods of French history are represented in Douglas Fairbanks’s new United Artists Picture, “The Iron Mask,” now at the Majestic Theatre. Mr. Fairbanks and his actors assume three different ages and appearances. The story opens in the France of and the newborn heir in his cradle. D’Artagnan and the three musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, engage in the adventures, intrigues and loves of their youth. The weakling king and his splendid court are in the zenith of their glory, and Richelieu is supreme in his power. D’Artagnan, young and carefree, wields his sword in defence of his king, and pursues his love affair with the little seamstress, Constance. Tragedy ends this gay epoch. Athos, Porthos and Aramis are banished to the far corners of France by the Cardinal. D’Artagnan remains alone in Paris, bereft of the companion swords of his loyal friends. The bright supporting programme includes a Fox News and Eve’s Reviews with the latest events of the world; a Glenn Tryon comedy, and new and enjoyable musical selections by the Majestic. Octet under Mr. Whiteford Waugh.
