ENTERTAINMENTS.
MAJESTIC THEATRE. "A Dangerous Woman," an alltalking picture will be shown finally to-night. Olive Brook, commissioner of a British colony in Central East Africa, loves his Russian wife, Baclanova, in spite of her repeated infidelities. But when Leslie Fenton, his assistant, shoots himself because of an affair with her, Brook moves to a separate cottage and lives alone in bitterness. Then his brother, Neil Hamilton, is sent out from England, as his assistant, and for the sake of appearance, Brook decides to try again to live happily with his wife. She outrages his code of morals, but her personality is so magnetic that Brook has to admit that he still loves her. Neil arrives, and Brook, to his horror, watches Baclanova deliberately ensnare his clean, up-standing young brother. Clyde Cook, Brook's faithful Cockney servant, also is disgusted by Baclanova's actions. The tropics begin to work their insidious effect on Neil, and at a native mating dance, his resistance breaks down before Baclanova's wiles. The establishment of satisfactory relationship, provides an unexpected occurrence in a picture of more than usual merit.
