ENTERTAINMENTS.

MAJESTIC THEATRE. "Just My Luck," showing finally tonight at tlie Majestic Theatre, is generous in the number of laughs it gives, because ltalph Lynn develops into a bombastic "go-getter" from being a timid, spineless music teacher—almost afraid of his own shadow, and certainly afraid to walk under a ladder. In this new pictuix'the characterisation differs considerably from the usual "silly ass" role with which patrons have become familiar. To add to the attractiveness, Ralph Lynn is rarely off the screen, and "Just My Luck" with its charm of setting and beauty of rural backgrounds, is really good, wholesome entertainment of a, pleasant light character.
