COAIMENCING SATURDAY “LIFE GOES ON.”

The Majestic Theatre has been particularly fortunate j.u the choice of high-class British pictures selected for screening, and “Life Goes On” which will commence a season tomorrow, deserves to rank with the best yet. This is a Paramount British production, and it is said to have the characteristic finish of ail the output from these studios. Like Vicki Baum's play, ■ 'Grand Hotel,'’ practically the whole action of “Life Goes On” takes place in a leading London hotel, and a really fine mystery story is enacted within us compass. Hugh Wakefield, best remembered for his work in “'Aren’t We All/’ the brilliant British comedy screened at this theatre some weeks ago. has the leading role, in “Life Goes Or." and he does much to relieve i he seriousness of the picture at rimes. The plot is very clever, and 1 lie. audience will find itself trying to sort oiii a murderer from the several well-groomed patrons of the hotel. Betty Stock-field. the Australian si nr who made such a Jiir in “The City of Song.’’ a Viennese picture, plays the part of a woman whose indiserei ions are the r-a-usp. for all the mystery,, and Elsie Randolph has a very conspicuous part as a telephone attendant who hankers for personal, experience of romance. A well chosen supporting programme accompanies “Life Goes On”, including Overseas and Cinesouhd newsreel, a Alack Sen net i comedy entitled “Jimmy’s New Yacht,” Vincent Lopez and his orchestra playing “Those Blues,’’ and a further of the delightful “Screen Souvenirs” series.
