MAJESTIC THEATRE

I "THE FOUR JUST MEN” j Given added force by the recent turn of international events, “The Four Just Men,” the new Britisn film concluding to-night at the Majestic Theatre, is an exciting, wellconstructed film dealing with the less palatable side of international scheming. It is an unusual picture but a very 1 welcome one, with good acting and smooth, polished English voices. “Broadway Serenade” "Broadway Serenade,” commencing to-morrow at the Majestic Theatre, is a worthy successor to those other modern films in which Jeanette Macdonald has appeared. In it she is cast with Lew Ayres. The plot is not remarkable, being the story of a young married couple of vaudeville artists who become separated when Broadway recognises the singing talents of the girl but refuses to listen to the musical offerings of the husband. Estrangements and divorce follow, aided on their way by a young Englishman with plenty of money. Fortunately, being English and very public school, he is suitably abashed when he finds that the lady is married, and later, finding that she still loves her husband, he beats a hasty retreat to the fogs of his homeland. Mirrophonic Sound Plant. The astounding effect of natural sound, as obtained through the operation of the new Western Electric Mirrophonic sound equipment installed at the Majestic Theatre, will be demonstrated during the screening of the "Broadway Serenade” programme, commencing to-morrow. In addition to the feature film and a “short” showing the submarine volcano Krakatoa in eruption, with striking sound effects, there will be a special test film at the conclusion demonstrating the potentialities of the talking film's latest and greatest, ally. The Mirrophonic equipment, it is claimed, gives new life and beauty to singing and musical instruments.
