MAJESTIC THEATRE.
"CHANDU THE MAGICIAN." With the versatile Edmund Lowe in the title role and a well-knit and intensely dramatic plot revolving about the invention and theft of Regent's mysterious death-ray by the fiendish Roxor, "Chandhu, the Magician," the new feature for the Majestic Theatre, sets a new high mark for screen noveltv and entertainmont. Lowe's work as the master of Yogi mysteries, whose magic abilities are strained to the utmost in rescuing tho hapless inventor and his family from Roxor's clutches, is the outstanding player of the cast. But dramatic honours also go to Irene Ware, the "Vanities" beauty making her initial film appearance as tho Princess Nadji, to Bela Lugosi as the vindictive Roxor, and to Henry B. Walthall as the inventor. Herbert Mundin, In a Cockney part, supplies most of the comedy touches. __^_
