“FROZEN JUSTICE” IS STORY OF THE ARCTIC.

Swaying palm leaves and a tropic sun, together with seductive olive-skin-ned maidens and a ukulele or two. make the most generally accepted scheme for romance, but the producers of “Frozen Justice.” which is being shown at the Majestic Theatre, took for their story the opposite extreme, placing their characters in Arctic ice, with igloos, instead, of palm trees, and fox furs instead of hibiscus blooms. And the effect is fairly good. This is a very ten*e picture, where elemental emotions are full rein, with little beating about the bush, and any amount of action. The picture Is excellently produeled. and is acted in a powerful manner* ! As the girl, Lenore Ulric acts marvellously. She has a most exacting part, and it never finds her wanting. The other roles are also splendidly sustained. The staging is effective. The first half of the programme, in which the ever-popular "shorts” are featured, is well worth seeing. There is an excellent news reel. In which a ship burning at a dock makes a great spectacle. A fine piece of riotous comedy, “Musical Fiends,” has the audience laughing all the time. The Kentucky Glee Singers, who were seen here in the fl'esh some time ago, are screened, and their songs are welcomed enthusiastically. Taken right through, the programme is a splendid one.
