PLAZA THEATRE.
"HEK MAJESTY LOVE." Matilyn Miller is the star ur "Her, Mojetiy Love,' - the delightful comedy featured at the l.'laza. Theatre this week. The picture can .be recommended rs a cure for depression. Marilyn Miller makes an ideally gay flgure of an outeetainev in a Berlin cabaret, who sings for her patrons and laughs at the ardent wooing of Ben Lyon. 'This young man has been satisfactorily cast, in a light comedy role. He can preserve this twinkle through all the opposition of his stodgy family to his marriage with Marilyn. Four fine comedians move round the young pair. Leon Krrol is a bad baron, Ford Sterling is a pompous factory manager, W. 0. Fields is Marilyn's seedy father, and Chester Oonklln a downtrodden friend, But there is no need to take the lovers'- difficulties too seriously, for their.fortunate romantic ends where it began, in" the. cabaret. "THE UNHOLY GARDEN." The spirit of,, adventure is again reflected in Honald Colinan's latest picture, "Tho Unholy Garden," which comes, to the Plaza on' Saturday. '.'The .Unholy Garden" refers to an .outpqat at (he, edge of the Sahara wastes', where renegades from tho law hide; safe from tho police and extradition. ' The decayed Splendour of a once magniiicont resort gives sanctuary to a strange gathering of outcast?, awaiting • forgetfulness or forgiveness. Civilisation offers each of them gaol or worse for a different reason. • In other words, "The Unholy Garden" is Samuel Goldwyn's answer to the demand for Ronald Colnian in a picture of action. For "The Unholy Garden" is action —aB much, action as his memorable "Bnau Goste." . • ■
