ENTERTAINMENTS.
MAJESTIC THEATRE The casting of Robert Donat, young English screen and stage actor, opposite Elissa Landi, in the title role of Harryi M. Goltz’s and. Edward Small’s million dollar Reliance production of Dumas’ “The Count of Monte Cristo,' produced in Hollywood lor release through United Artists, and concluding to-night at the Majestic Theatre, set in motion a new plan for the exchange of British and American screen talent. Young, extremely handsome, charming, and a splendid actor, Donat has everything necessary to suit the part. The thrilling story of Edmond Dantes, the young Frenchman, torn from his sweetheart’s arms by his enemies and unjustly imprisoned, later to return as a fabulously wealthy Count, is well-known, and the film, with Donat at the head of the cast, does it every justice.
