MAJESTIC THEATRE.
"A Woman's Face/
"A Woman's Face" brings Joan Crawford, Melvyn Douglas, and Conrad Veidt to the Majestic Theatre in one of the most powerful and completely different dramas the screen has seen for a long time. The story deals with Anna Holm, a woman whose horribly disfigured face causes her to be shunned. Through this she becomes the enemy of all mankind, commanding a blackmailing ring' that preys on women who are beautiful Into her life comes a clever, unscrupulous madman who sees in her the criminal potentialities he loves. A famous plastir surgeon finds her, operates, and restores her natural beauty. In the meantime her sinister lover has set for her the task of murdering the child who stands in the way of his inheritance. Torn between the love she develops for the child and her infatuation for her evil lover, she faces a terrific situation, cleared through a novel dramatic twist. Miss Crawford plays, the disfigured Anna Holm, wearing in the opening scenes a make-up remiuiscent of one of Lori Chaney's horror disguises. Later she appears in gorgeous costumes as a beautiful woman.
