MAJESTIC THEATRE

“NO MORE LADIES” Sparkling dialogue, a general air of high spirits, and the presence of famous names in the cast make “No More Ladies,” now screening at the Majestic Theatre, undoubtedly a film to be seen. The story of a woman’s wit lighting for her happiness provides one of the most amusing dramatic situations that any author has ever committed to paper. Joan. Crawford has a role different from anything she has played before and heradmirers will agree that she handles it admirably. Robert Montgomery’s part is reminiscent of the attractive and cheeky roles which brought him to stardom. Franehot Tone is as good as ever. , Edna May Oliver is a delight as Aunt Fanny and Charlie Ruggles has one of those well-meaning t fussy parts which he can carry as no one else can. Reginald Denny, Gail Patrick, Vivienne Osborne 'and Arthur Treacher are among the others. The supporting programme includes the latest newsreels, a Charlie Chase comedy, and an all-coloured fantasy “Two Hearts in Wax Time.” ‘ ‘ Les Miserables. ’ ’ Of all the great classics c-f literature, none appears to have a more lasting appeal than Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables.” Though, tho story is set in the France of the early nineteenth century the moral problems and social issues whiah. underlie the drama are still of vital importance in this modern age. ) That is why the magnificent Twentieth 'Century production of the book, which will start on Friday at the Majestic Theatre, is certain to command the attention of a very wide circle of picturegoers. To make doubly certain of the film’s success, the cast contains three of the greatest actors on the screen today, Charles Laughton, Fredric March, and Hir Cedric Hardwicke. And these three are only t'he leading players in a film that is distinguished throughout by fine acting.
