MAJESTIC THEATRE. John Barrymore is co-starred with Diana Wynyard in "Reunion in Vienna," Mctro-Goldwyn-Mayer s picturisation of Robert H. Sherwood s
smashing stage hit, a glorious romance set to the waltzes of Vienna. In the new film, which comes.to the Majestic Theatre to-night and to-morrow night, Barrymore plays the role of the impulsive and irresistible Hapsburg archduke, Rudolf, who returns to Vienna from exile to recapture the memory or kisses that lingered long after the royal reign toppled and the glory or the glamorous court life faded. The role is said to match Barrymore s individual talents and personality _ with flawless fit. It follows his acclaim in "Grand Hotel," and "Rasputin and the Empress." In point of. settings, "Reunion in Vienna" is said to equal the most ambitious efforts of the past twelve months. Cedrie Gibbons has taken his interiors from modern as well as old Vienna.
