ENTERTAINMENTS.

MAJESTIC THEATRE. Scintillating fashion spectacles that reach a sensational clamax when, the models disrobe and plunge into a pool, a spectacular ballet and society gathering on a grand and lavish scale, sharply contrast the dramatic and human story of three shop girls that motivates '"'Our Blushing Brides," m which Joan Crawford, Anita Page and Dorothy Sebastian will be seen, finally to-night. Opening to-morrow night and showing on Wednesday night there will be another of S. S. Van Dine's sensational mystery stories, "The Benson Murder Case.'"' William Powell is featured once more as the amateur detective, Philo Vance. It is held to be just as thrilling as "The Canary Murder Case" and "The Greene Murder Case," seen here some time ago.
