MAJESTIC

“STREET GIRL” “Big Time,” the talking and singing tale of the vaudeville player who permitted his ambition to make him desert his wife and child, will have its final screening at the Majestic Theatre this evening. Mae Clarke and Lee Tracy, New York players, are the stars, and the picture is accompanied by an excellent supporting programme. Another fine selection of pictures and musical items will be presented for the entertainment of Majestic patrons at the theatre tomorrow. The chief attraction will be “Street Girl,” a talking and singing production which was adapted from W. Carey Wonderly’s story, “The Viennese Charmer,” a dramatic and realistic tale of that little known, but intensely human, district, New Y'ork’s “Little Hungary.” Jane Murfin wrote the dialogue, and through it brought a poignant and authentic ti*anscription of life in that section. Featured in support of Miss Compson is John Harron, whose performance marks him as one of the most accomplished of those stars of the silent screen who have successfully made the change to dialogue pictures. An exceptionally fine company of artists also appear in. this film. Gus Arnheim’s exclusive New York jazz orchestra, known as the “Coconut Grove Ambassadors.” good dancing.and. singing items, and a cast of prominent American singers and actors are all combined in “Street Girl.” A supporting programme of the usual high Majestic standard will be presented.
