MAJESTIC THEATRE. A dramatic story of men's emotions when trapped in a sunken submarine io unfolded in "Adventures of Submarine 513," which is now showing at the Majestic; Theatre. The dramatic nature of the story is intensified by the absence of subsidiary themes to detract from the interest of the story. The programme will be changed to-morrow, when ''Young Eagles" will be the chief attraction. The men who made "Wings" ' are again seen in ''Young Eagles, ,, described as the "Wings" of the talking* screen. Charles (Buddy) Rogers appears once more as the daring "ace" of the air. Jean Arthur plays opposite him. The story is intense and combines romance with exciting drama, and fighting in midair. A splendid programme of featurettes ie announced. LITTLE THEATRE SOCIETY.
