AMUSEMENTS

Majestic.—“ The Mad Doctor of Market Street,” "Tillie the Toiler,” and “Gang Busters” conclude to-night. Monday s programme is headed by James Oliver Curwood's ‘‘Law of the Timber.” 1 The associate feature will be “Double Crossed,” starring Charles Farrell, and the new serial “Jungle Girl,” adapted from Edgar Rice Burrough’s stories. The opening chapter is titled “Death by Voodoo.” King’s.—Sparkling with a brilliance and originality that makes it a notable addition to the season’s mystery offering. “The Falcon Takes Over,” produced by R.K.O. oil a lavish scale, opened at the King’s Theatre yesterday. George .Sanders, direct from his triumphs in “Sundown,” once more plays the title role of the Michael Arlen s suave amateur detective, “The Falcon.’ Lynn Bari gives a magnificent performance as a go-getter newspaper woman. James Gleeson and Allen Jenkins are in the cast. Regent. —"Babes on Broadway,” which opened yesterday, proves one thing—youth still maintains its supremacy in the motion picture world. A splendidly contrived combination of music, dancing, comedy and pathos, this new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture serves as the perfect show window for the talents of its co-stars, Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. Literally full of music, the picture also offers Virginia Weidler in a departure from her usual dramatic role.
