THE MAJESTIC
Monte Blue again wins the unanimous verdict of the crowd. Once before he played a fighting Irishman. Thas was in “Hogan’s Alley.” Since then a big array of characters have been portrayed by the virile young Westerner. Now he is again a Hogan, son of an ex-champion heavyweight, played by the always popular Jim Jeffries. Having the cleverness to knock out all comers in one round, the youth wins the title of “One Round Hogan.” His best girl doc o not know that he is a fighter and urges him to coax her brother to get out of the profession. Later, by machinations of a crooked -manager the brother is killed and “ One Roun/l Hogan 1 ’ is tried for manslaughter. Though he is acquitted, the girl believes him guilty, until the confession of an embittered outsider, clears the air. Hogan then whips the manager and wins the lady. “One Round Hogan” now showing at the Majestic is big, human, clean and exciting. It is everywhere acclaimed as Blue's • rough-neck best. The supporting feature is Baroness Orczy’s well known tale of the fevered days of ’B3—tho days when the elegants danced white the hungry clamoured at their gates. This is a British production which features Holmes Herbert with a supporting cast of English and Continental artists.
