MAJESTIC THEATRE !

“ROYAL CAVALCADE • The last twenty-live years have been remarkable in. the world’s history for many stirring events, and in “Royal Cavalcade,’ 1 showing finally at three •essions at the Majestic Theatre tolay, an attempt- ha* been made to Oring within the compass of an evening’s entertainment the outstanding features of a monarch's reign. Such a great deal has happened in the last few years that those who have been responsible for the production of “Royal Cavalcade” must certainly have been confronted with a problem in knowing what to include and what to omit from the picture. Many of the scenes are actual pictorial records, and in their presentation one is immcuiately aware of the progress that has been made in cinematography during the reign of His Majesty. To Londoners and others who are familiar with the great capital there are many scenes which should particularly appeal. For instance, there are pictures of the new and old London, and there is a picture of the King’s Coronation procession. The love the people of England feel for their King is well demonstrated in scenes during the King’s illness, and the joy felt at his recovery is shown in the thanksgiving service. Through the cavalcade of twenty-five years one is reminded that His Majesty was always at the head of his people. “Society Doctor” “Society Doctor,” coming to-morrow to the Majestic Theatre, concerns a Dr. Morgan, a clever young surgeon at a big hospital, who has no wholesome respect for his superior, and when, through the complaints of the society doctor, he is fired, he lets both him and the superintendent have it straight from the shoulder. He accepts a proposal that he should enter private practice, but later declines, and this action smooths out the way for him again in the affections of Madge, a pretty nurse, to whom Morgan’s pal, Dr. Ellis, has already proposed marriage. Then a gangster runs amuck in the hospital. Morgan is shot. His case is regarded as hopeless, bet i n the operating theatre, after having had administered to him a spinal anaesthetic, he directs his own operation, Dr. Ellis performing it. Morgan survives, romance wins out, and there is the customary happy ending.
