MAJESTIC THEATRE

“PALS IN PARADISE” AND “THE LIGHTNING RIDER.” The excellence of the double-rea-ture programme submitted at the Majestic is such that the management has wisely decided to screen the two successes “P.-t’ls in Paradise” and “Tho Lightning Rider” again tonight. Few picture fans are aware of the fact that ALarguerife Do La Motto, dainty screen player, besides being a clever actress, is also an accomplished classic dancer and is featured with John Bowers in “I’als in Paradise” the screen' adaption of tlio original novel by Peter B. Kyne. The filming of this story shatters traditions in picture making for the reason that it is an ultra modern story of the AVest—of the founding of u new gold camp. And in tlio place of Ihe lumbering prairie schooner, backboard and buggy for conveyance (lie flivver, high-priced cars of all makes and vintages, as well as tlmj “plane,” are utilised. . Air Krne had capitalised on tlio discovery of gold! in lieu fields in California and in Ca 4 nada where modern methods and con] vcnicnces are conspicuous.

"The Lightning Rider,” starring llnrry Carey and Virginia Brown !■ airo will hold you spell-bound. It • s a Hunt Stromberg production, with all the action and thrills of the west, all the color and seduction of old Spain and all the romance of love the world over. Harry Carey, the swift-riding, quick-shooting man of action as The Black Mask, a reckless, terror-spreading night rider. Shannon Fife tolls a thrilling story of a peace-loving deputy sheriff and a gallant bandit —both the same man! In addition the very best of •supporting pictures. Box jilan at Tacrersall and Bayly’s.
