AMUSEMENTS

Majestic.— To-night is the last opportunity to thrill again to the immortal music of Johann Strauss in "The Great Waltz. Tomorrow's change of programme includes “The Mad Doctor of Market Street, starring Lionel Atwill, the first of a new comedy series, "Tillie the Toiler, and the opening chapter of "Gang Busters, stalling Kent Taylor and Irene Hervey. King’s.—The "Adventures of Marco Polo," which is now screening at the King’s Theatre, brings to the screen a mighty cavalcade of Oriental splendour and is a rollicking adventurous romance. Samuel _ C.oldwyn who produced this magnificent picture, selected Gary Cooper to play the romantic role of Marco Polo. He also selected some of Hollywood’s top ranking players to support him. Basil Rathbone, Alan Hale, Binuie Barnes, and the beautiful Signd Curie are a few of the names. Regent.—One of the year’s greatest action pictures, "A Yank on the Burma Road.” now showing at the Regent, is not only a picture, but current history. It stars that firebrand, Barry Nelson, Laraine Day, heye Luke, Stuart Crawford and a nation of Chinese people. One special featurette, “Jaws of the Jungle,” depicts the life and care of a village community in the Ceylonese jungle, and patrons who are interested in travel and native life should not fail to see it.
