ENTERTAINMENTS

MAJESTIC THEATRE: "BROADWAY SCANDALS" That bright musical-comedy screen success, "Broadway Scandals," with its wonderful dancing, singing and comedy, will have its final screening at the Majestic Theatre to-night. "THRU' DIFFERENT EYES" "Thru Different Eyes," the all-talking Fox Movietone feature coming _ to the Majestic Theatre to-morrow, bids fair to create the greatest sensation since the idvent of talking films. With a dazzling cast of screen notables, headed by such popular stars as Mary Duncan, Warner Baxter and Edmund Lowe the highly dramatic story of a man on trial for Ins life is brought to the screen with unbelievable vigour. Through the eyes of the prosecutor, the condemned and the actual culprit the theme moves rapidly in the strongest web of circumstantial evidence that ever condemned an innocent man. Elemental passions vie with mystery. The box plans are at the Majestic Confectionery. ' "BLACK WATCH" PLANS OPEN The remarkable interest being taken locally in the coming of the all-English-speaking sensation, 'The Black Watch." which commences at the Majestic Theatre next Monday, is shown in the large number of seats that have already been booked.

REGENT THEATRE:"SEVEN KEYS TO BALDPATE"

Thrills, suspense, mystery and romance arc some of the high lights of Richard D.x's first starring picture for Radio Pictures' "Seven Keys to Baldpate,' which was screened to a large and enthusiastic audience on Saturday at the Regent Theatre. It is a fast moving all-talking dramatic farce which combines thrills and laughs in rapid succession. Richard Dix gives one of the finest programmes of his long screen career as Magee the novelist who meets with many adventures while spending the night in a deserted tavern trying to write a novel. The shadows of Baldpate Inn, the howling of the wind outside, and the ominous sound of seven keys turning one by one in the lock of the lavem door, all create an atmosplnro 01 mystery that rivets one's attention, the surprise ending of the story is one that even the most imaginative minds will not guess. Dix is supported by an unusually strong cast of players, two of whom enact the same roles in the picture that they played in the original production of the play. Thev are Joseph Allen and Carleton Macy. "Seven Keys" will be screened to-night for the last time.

"The Kibitzer," a Paramount alltalking comedy, will be screened to-mor-row night, and Wednesday at 2.30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Harry Green has the leading role, and is ideally cast. He has a .splendid gift for character comedy. He is supported in tin's picture by the'screen favourites, Mary Brian and Neil Hamilton. A "kibitzer," we learn, is a person who gives free advice; one who meddles with other person's affairs.
