MAJESTIC THEATRE

DOUBLE BRITISH BILL

An excellent British programme will he screened for tho last- time to-day. The first feature is “Compromising Daphne”. The ingenious means by which a modern young couple overcome parental opposition to their early marriage has been turned to excellen account as the basis for an hilarious story. Besides the vivacious Daphne, played by Jean Colin, and the timorous and excitable George Charles Hickman, who is tho unwilling victim of her plan,’there are excellent minor characterisations by a cast of accomplished London stage artists. The second feature, “Young Woodley” stars Frank Lawton and Madeleine Carroll. The story deals with a. public schoolboy’s love for wife. Frank Lawton’s portrayal of Y’oung Woodley .made the play; lie more than, repeats that success -in the film. Madeleine Carroll puts up by far her Lest performance to date, and Sam Livesay presents the hidebound conventional headmaster.
