MAJESTIC THEATRE.

Leon Cordon, well-known in Wellington as the .star of "White Cargo," is the author of the pronouncedly successful talking comedy drama. 'Don't Bet on Women," which will be screened for the first time in AVellington at the .Majestic Theatre to-day. The play has a refreshingly novel plot, and as it develops one is left with the impression that It would seem to bo a desirable plan when one makes a wager about the frailty of women in general to eliminate one's own wife from the stipulations. Gordon, who knows British audiences and understands what they demand in the shape of dramalfc entertainment acting, .saw to it. that none but artists of ability were inimu' etl '" th° CaSt' W' th "1C reSU" that "le has been highly praised by the critics. Edmund i>owe is seen to real advantage in the role of a man of the world with a wrong idea about ladies, and Roland Young makes an admirable awyer who has faith in all women, including ins wife, while Jcanette Mac Donald is said to score a real bit in a part that fits her like a glove. J. jr. Kerrigan, the popular Irish comedian of the famous Dublin Ahbey Players, Lna .Merkel, and that fine actor, Henry Kolker, are also prominently cast. An especially selected set of short subjects, well varied, will precede the main feature. The late shoppers' session will commence to-day at 5 o'clock and finish at 7 p.m. Box plans are at the Bristol and also at the theatre.
