MAJESTIC
“CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD” This evening sees the final presentation of the current programme at the Majestic Theatre. This is headed by “Double Crops Roads,” & fascinating talkie starring Lila Lee and Montague Love. Laura La Plante, the “personality girl”—John Boles, the “golden voice of the screen” —both in one picture at this theatre —and what a picture! That is the coming treat for Majestic Theatre patrons—ft feast of cinema fare such as Aucklanders seldom have an opportunity to see. Beautiful new songs by Charles Wakefield Cadman, America’s favourite composer, especially written for this picture! Sung by John Boles, star of "The Desert Song,” “Song of the West,” and “Rio Rita” —the most popular songster of the photoplay sphere! ’
Romance, pathos, stirring drama! Beauty beyond description. Love beyond compare. Spectacle beyond imagination —“Captain of the Guard.”
The tremendous* epic which gave birth to the French Republic is brought to the screen in all-dialogue and allsound by the Universal . super-produc-tion which dramatises truly the heart of a nation —and the love story which made possible the freedom of a people!
Love alone was the inspiration for the mighty anthem, “La Marseillaise,” which has thrilled the souls and brought victory to France’s invincible emancipators—her armies from the time of the Revolution down to the present day. LoVe-making history!
