ENTERTAINMENTS.

MAJESTIC THEATRE. Shirley Temple certainly is entitled to take a bow for her performance in "Baby, Take a Bow," which will have its last screening at the Majestic Theatre to-night. The work of tins five-year-old girl is really astonishing. She'possesses the grace and intelligence of a. grown person and a personality that will carry her far. The picture is a comedy-drama centreing around Shirley Temple and her young parents. Its theme is James Dunn s struggle for happiness in spite of the handicap of a prison record. Claire Trevor is the young wife who believes in him. Little Shirley is their adorable baby daughter who lends' merriment to the action and turns a trick in the nick of time that makes her the heroine of the drama. There are excellent supporting filmsBAND'S EUCHRE TOURNEY.
