MAJESTIC THEATRE.

"UNDER SUSPICION."

Clothed in. a wealth of romance, provided . with refreshing comedy, punctuated with thrills and melody, amid the splendid vistas of the Canadian Rockies, the Pox Movietone outdoor, romance, "Under Suspicion," 'will open'to-day. at the Majestic. J. Harold Murray, whose, golden voice has been heard in both musical comedy and alltalking screen successes," and Lois Moran, petite, beautiful, and talented actress, Share the leading honours in a way that will add many names their lists of admirers, while J. M. Kerrigan and Marie Saxon also give excellent characterisations. The realistic story concerns, a titled British ace who, in order to save the honour of his family, sacrifices '■ himself and his title, buries his identity and enlists in the Royal North-West Mounted under the name of John Smith. He meets and falls in love with the beautiful daughter of his commanding officer, ''and how he wins her in the face of danger, intrigue, and the jealousy of a designing rival, forms the basis of one of the most enthralling and, at the same time, tensely stirring romances ever transferred, to the silver soreen. One of the most thrilling features is the ■ great forest fire, during which the'hero, Tescues, by - airplane, the father of the' girl, with whom he is in love. Another-striking episode is the rescue of the girl by her lover when she falls into the surging rapids from her capsized . canod. , \.. .1 During the action of the picture, Murray sings three songs that were composed for i the production by James P. Hanley and ! Joseph McCarthy, two of the most popular i composers now writing for the screen. The song's, already in the "hit" class, are "Whispering Pines." "My Kingdom Door," and' "Saskatchewan." A male chorus of 70 trained voices sings the counter refrain ip the last-named ballad. A. P. Erickson, who made "Lone Star Ranger" and "Rough Romance," both Pox, Movietone Outdoor' talkfe hits, deserves fur. t ther laurels for the' absorbing entertainment qualities of this new offering filmed and recorded, for the greater part, in tho Lake Louise section of Canada, which afforded, many picturesque backgrounds.
