MAJESTIC THEATRE.
"Bad Sister," the clever screen adaptation of Booth Tarkington's novel, "The Flirt," which sent a capacity audience into (its of laughter at the Majestic Theatre, on Saturday evening last, owes much of its success to the logical1 way in which the capital story of family life-is presented. The piny demonstrates that the wages of the bad sister's seltlshncss,- like the- wages of sin, are of the kind, commonly regarded as unpleasant.. Sidney Fox and Betto, Davis, two experienced actresses from the legitimate theatre, and Conrad Nagcl, as leading man, present dramatic work of a high order. One of the biggest favourites of the least—possibly, the biggest—is the boy Davle Durand, who .Impersonates the 'mischievous Ind of the family with' real comical effect, and registers a hit -with everybody. The" short subjects of the first part of Ihc programme include "Here's Luck," a very funny Slim Summervtlle farce. Box plans are at iho Bristol" and also at the" theatre.
