MAJESTIC THEATRE.

When a chorus girl has a boarding school bequeathed to her, and immediately leaves the stage to tako over the reins of office as '"headmaster," something is sure to happen. "Sweetie," tho all-talking Paramount feature at the Majestic Theatre this week, tells what does actually happen.

Tho titlo does not do the picturo justice. Certainly it is somewhat sentimental, ancj exploits the mock heroism which is too inclined to bo predominant in American collego athletics, but beyond this thero is a story of healthy frivolity, which appeals to a holiday nudienco. As the "Sweetie" of tho piece, Nancy Carroll ib inimitable. The whole picture centres round her and her noting stands out in a production that is notable for the strength of its cast Stanley Smith shows himself an ablo vocalist besides a good actor. One of the best of tho supports is a cartoon, which typo of picture never fails to appeal. This one is particularly ingenious, and has to be seen to be appreciated. "On the High C's" and a gazette complete a woll-balanced programme. The current Drogramme is the first to be produced at the Majestic Theatre with the new Western Electric installation. It must be said that iwousticallv there is a groat improvement. This vreek'o programme proves that the acoustic nualitv of tho theatre itself gives no ground for complaint.
