MAJESTIC THEATRE

"DRESSED TO KILL.” EDMUND LOWE, MARY ASTOR. To-night for the one night only there will be presented at. the Majestic Theatre the Williarii Fox production "Dressed to Kill,” with Edmund Lowe and Mary Astor in the leading role. Though the title of the picture might lead to wrong impressions on the part of some it is quite the best title that could be chosen, for it is the story of a present-day master crook, a brainy individual, immaculately' dressed, patent leather shoes, manicured nails, a patron jof the opera, a connoisseur of'art, blit, after all—a crook and. a killer, This role is played bv Edmund Lowe of "What Price Glory” fame ,and. is quite, tlip best starring part this handsome actor has had in some time. Mary Astor plays , the role: of a girl who joins the band for a purpose, and Ben Bard is the chief assistant of the master mind, with Charles Morton in the male romantic role. "Mile Away‘Barry” plans one of his little coups. A fur store is.to be- robbed. Jean (Mary Astor) is to go into the shop with the count and the other; members of the mob are -to,- be on .the..scene in,, different roles. Jean is to faint, the others play their' parts automatically, and then Barry, the master-mind, is to come in with the suitcases, Tho moment arrives, but Jean’s • nerve breaks and the plot fails in : one of the most dramatic scenes ever filmed. In addition a capital supporting programme. : .->.y’V . To-morrow night the theatre being ptherwise - engaged, no pictures * will be shown, but on Wednesday, commencing- at .the matinee, -the- United; Artists’ special "The Devil Dancer,” featuring Gilda Gray, .will, begin a season. , 1 , ; ’.i.:. - .
