MAJESTIC
“DOUBLE CROSS ROADS” A brilliant best seller provides the story for the talkie, “Double Cross Roads,” starring Robert Ames and Lila Lee, which is coming to the Majestic Theatro today. In “Double Cross Roads” Miss Lee appears as a cabaret singer, dominated by a sinister gang leader who uses her in an effort to influence a devil-may-care young man. This part is enacted by Robert Ames, who, on leaving prison, decides to go straight. The master gangster needs the boy to do a safe cracking job, at which b© is an expert, but he has decided to reform and, to this end, finds honest work in the country. The girl and boy, now reconciled and thoroughly in love, eventually outwit the crooks and are free to continue their romance. The story is dramatic in the extreme and one exciting situation follows another. It is interpreted by a cast of more than ordinary calibre, and. besides Miss Lee, leading roles are enacted by Robert Ames, Montagu Love, George MacFartane and Ned Sparks. Edythe Chapman, Tom Jackson, Caharlotte "Walker, William V. Mong and Thomas Jefferson are the supporting players. A full and new supporting programme will also be shown tomorrow. The Majestic’s new programme includes a number of bright supporting features. There is a Universal Newspaper News, songs by Dorothy Whitmore, scenes of Kingsford Smith’s arrival in New York, and a comedy, “Steaming Up.” by the inimitable Clark and McCullough.
