AT THE PICTURES
State: Commencing Friday next, “The Way Ahead,” starring David Niven, one of the best pictures yet produced in England, featuring Stanley Holloway, Penelope Ward. John Laurie and Mary Jerold. Although it is said to be one of the funniest Aims ever made about life. "The Way Ahead” is also dramatic, realistic, convincing and spectacular. It is directed with immense skill. It does not pretend to be either a "message” or an “uplift.” There is more laughter than tears in it, more excitement and suspense than argument. It will carry the spirit of the soldier to audiences all over the world and it will do so not unworthily.
Majestic: To-night and to-morrow, Leslie Howard and Norma Shearer in "Romeo and Juliet.’* This, perhaps the finest and most loved of Shakespeare’s works, has been translated into a vivid moving picture and brides the main players there are John Barrymore, Edna May Oliver, C. Aubrey Smith and Basil Rathbone. Starting on Saturday there will be "Going My Way.” the picture that has taken picture audiences by storm. It will be screened in the Majestic for a week and reservations are already heavy.
