MAJESTIC THEATRE.

"THE BATTLE OF PARIS." The management of the Majestic Theatre has secured for next week's proframme one of the best pictures to be screened at that theatre since Its opening. "Tin Battle o* Paris" has not only its own Intrinsic merit* as a magnificent piece of musical and roman tic entertainment to offer, but it has also Miss Gertrude Lawrence, that inimitable comedienne, who now adds millions to her numbers of admirers through ths medium of the talkies. As a picture, "The Battle of Paris" is a new type of screen entertain ment, an amusing 'mixture of musical comedy, straight drama, and sheer romance. It has,, first and; foremost a wy sound story to offer, and then It b|» Gertrude Lawrence to interpret it. Bh* is jwdoubtedly the most anuiiif woman -in plcwrei to-day. Wito her there is Charles Buggies, the screea s most elegant inebriate. , The story is not all comedy, for there is sometimes something very dramatic and serious in a woman trying to extricate her man from the arms of a siren. "The Battle of Paris" becomes a battle of wits and wiles. At the same time, a grand tame is had by all in Paris. It abounds with good things, from a delicious song by Miss Lawrence to a tipsy dance by Charles Ruggles, right down the scale, embracing love soenes and comedy scenes, and dramatic scenes. This delightful picture is supported on the bill by a long and interesting selection ox talking. musical, and topioal subjects. The boa plans are at The Bristol Piano Company. '
