"WILD COMPANY” SCORES HIT AT THE MAJESTIC

Pictures dealing with night-life are not altogether new to theatre-goers, but “Wild Company,” showing at the Alajestic Theatre this week, has many novel features. The plot centres round young Larry Grayson, played by Frank Albertson, the son of a prominent city business man. Larry becomes infatuated with the charms of a “song and dance ” girl in a local cabaret. This girl, Sally Curtis, is in league with a gang of crooks and, in the hope of being able to use his father’s influence through him, Sally leads the young man on .and to give her presents he robs his father’s store. lie becomes desperately in need of money and, knowing this, the gang implicates him in a murder which occurred as a result of a hold-up in the cabaret. Things turn out satisfactorily, however, and all ends well. A newsreel gives views of RIOO after her flight across the Atlantic, and scenes of the Italian earthquakes. A comedy is screened.
