MAJESTIC THEATRE

— COATEDY AND DRAMA IN DOUBLE BILL. Edward Everett Horton'heads the cast in “Her A 1 aster's Voice,” which is the first of the two features at the Majestic. Morion .cast as tho run-1 or-the-train husband, is splendid in every scene. His pretty young wife, charmingly played hv a newcomer to films. Peggy Conklin, is dominated by her paradoxically weak mother (Elizabeth Patterson) and dollardominnting aunt (Laura Hope Crews) and is eventually persuaded by tho latter to leave- her husband lor a “rest cure” with her after he loses his job through asking for a “raise.” The aunt knows tho husband only by repute, and when he gains her employ as a footman she has no difficulty in entertaining warmer sentiments for this considerate and polite young man than a middle-aged, wealthy lady should entertain. When he succeeds in hopelessly compromising his mother-in-law with the genial broadcasting director, who at- the same time discovers the husband to have a splendid radio voice and proceeds to build him up to become a nationally popular, wireless personality, known as the Fireside Troubadour, he finds Ids other problems comparatively easy. The second feature, “Woman Trap,,” f,is a fast-action drama of the “G-Man” type.
