MAJESTIC THEATRE

HER JUNGLE LOVE" Gently swaying tropical palms, silvery streams and pools, and beautiful Pacific seascapes make a perfect setting for the colourful background of "Her Jungle Love," the new teehnicolour film showing finally to-night at the Majestic Theatre. Dorothy Lamour, tall and brunette, is well cast as Tura, the beautiful girl who lives a strange, lonesome life on the island until two American aviators, Bob Mitchell (Ray Milland) and his copilot, crash spectacularly among the island palms. The three lead an unconventional though not unhappy life until the arrival of a fleet of native canoes from a neighbouring island, bringing with them as captive another missing aviator. “Cloistered" Three groups of women who are destined to spend their lives in the narrow confines of a cloistered convent never to see each other. “Cloistered," Robert Alexandre’s exquisitely beautiful film of convent life, which will commence at the Majestic Theatre tomorrow, reveals this unusual situation. Of the three groups, the Sisters have taken their final vows. The second group consists of postulants, those girls and women who have declared their intentions of becoming permanent inhabitants of the convent and who must go through a five and a-half year probationary period before they, too, are allowed to take their final vows. The third and last group is made up of two classes. First, there are the penitents, wayward girls who have been committed to the convent by their families or who have sought seclusion of their own free wills. From this class come the Magdalens, penitents who have determined to become nuns. It is most interesting to learn that, when the postulants are finally given their last vows

they are permitted to wear flowing white robes, which distinguish them as true Sisters, but, when the penitents take their final vows, they wear black habits, which designate their former worldly and sinful lives. Supporting subjects in keeping x.-ith the spirit, beauty and quality of the film complete the programme.
