MAJESTIC THEATRE.

KENNETH HARLAN IN “THE SAP.” TO-NIGHT’S~CH ANG E. Kenneth Harlan triumphs in a new field in the title role of “The Sap,” the Master Picture which opens at the Majestic Theatre to-night for one mgtit only. Here is a picture so accurately true to life that it grips with more tensity than any melodrama ever devised. It is a portrait of a man’s soul, done with marvellous dramatic power, and Kenneth" Harlan turns it into a mighty achievement. From the thundering war scenes in France, the action moves into a small American town, and the warfare i-s then concentrated within the heart of the ex-soldier, who knows lie is not a hero, in spite of his decorations. It is a story of Ins light to Win courage to fight others, as well as himself. The theme is tragically serious; the treatment is uniformly quick and light. David Butler, the town bully. Hemic Conklin, Mary McAlister, a young and beautiful heroine, and Eulalie Jensen as the hoy’s mother, are exceptionally fine, The supports include .“Oils Well,” two-reel comedy, Bathe Gazette, “Desert Sheik,” cartoon, and “Summer Song and Good Ships,” travel scenic. “The Cat and the Canary.” the vjof Universal super special, featuring Laura La Plante, will commence a season beginning at the matinee to-morrow.
