TJi,. three successful features shown so success! ill 1\- at the Majestic Theatre on Saturday will be shown again at the Majestic ton'ght. Tin* Fox attraction “Upstream” with an all star caste; “1 lie Glorious Trail” starring Ivon Maynard, and Kingston! Smith and the Southern Cross'at Blenheim provide capital entertainment for all. r.arlc Foxc. popular comedian, has the leading role in “Upstream,” quid Nancy Nash plays opposite Poxe in ihis comedy-drama, of American theatrical life, whilst Sammy Cohen and Ted MncNamara also have _ leading roies. The scene is laid in New York and London. The plot centres about the activities of a presumptuous young actor. “The Glorious Trail” is a western picture way above the average ol its type, made so by the daredevil stunts" and the line acting performance of Ken Maynard. “The Glorious Trail” uses as a theme flic stringing of the first telegraph wires in the far West and shows Hie tragic hardship- encountered by the workers and settlers performing this historic feat. The scenes of the Indian attack, the escape and the first message to come over the completed telegraph system tliaL connects the. hardy pioneer* vith the East are especially well done. Kingston] Smith and' his companions and Hie Southern Cross at Blemheiin proved decidedly interesting and also did a capital Fox News Gazette.
