MAJESTIC THEATRE

“WATERFRONT” AND ‘THE WAR HORSE.”

What could picture patrons desire more than the two fine productions showing at the Majestic to-night, and which met with such approval on Saturday last, “Waterlront,” a, breezy delightful comedy drama, featuring Dorothv McKaill and Jack Mulhall, and “The War Horse,” a. tota.ly different p’eture, starring Buck Jones. Romance, and glamorous adventure are part and parcel of San Francisco and its environs. No city boasts a character more, pronounced, and among its characteristic feature's ,is its waterfront, from Meiggs’ Wlfarf and the picturesque North Beach section to the Ferry Building and beyond. Thus “Waterfront,” the First Nat'onal picture cofeaturing Dorothy McKaill and Jack Mulhall has a. background certain to provoke in forest, because it is laid in that district of San Francisco, with accompanying sequences on Ihe ferry boats, a tug boat and a tramp steamer, with its romant'c cargo from the spice*! ado u is os’ of the Pacific. “The* War Morse” introduces Buck Jones in the character of Buck Thomas, a Wvoming cowboy, who loves lr.s horse. Silver Buck, with an affection greater titan he has for anything else. His horse is' taken info surv ee when the Government needed horses and men for .service in France, and Buck immediately enI’sts as well, fin the outskrts of a little French village lib meets Silver Buck, and their meeting' so arouses (he captain’s'interest that he takes Buck as his orderly. Comedy is the keynote of Buck’s subsequent-'adven-tures, til lie meets Audrey Evans, an ambulance, driver. Two gazettes, the Fox News and a Topical Budget complete the- entertainment.
