MAJESTIC THEATRE

“NEW MOON.” Together for the sixth time, Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy add prestige as the screen's favourite i romantic team in “New Moon,” showing finally at the Majestic Theatre today. The story is set against the colourful background of 1780 NewOrleans. “Night Train to Munich.” I Timely, topical and up-to-the-min- ; ute, “Night Train to Munich,” which I commences to-morrow at the Majestic Theatre, shows with vivid drama the workings of the evil forces against which every civilised nation has set its face. It is not a propaganda picture. It is a thrill-packed romantic drama, punctuated with refreshing humour, which yet shows conditions of to-day and points a lesson for everyone. "Night Train to Munich” co-stars Margaret Lockwood, who made a hit in “The Lady Vanishes," with Rex Harrison, who appeared to such advantage with Robert Donat in "The Citadel.” Heading the supporting cast is Paul von Hernried, who scored in “Goodbye Mr. Chips,” and fhe Him also serves to reintroduce the ace comedy team of Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne, who enlivened the proceedings of “The Lady Vanishes.” It shows the working of the Nazi machine the concentration camps and the work of a young Biitish secret service man who, by a daring masquerade, hoodwinks the Nazis and wins the love of the daughter of a Czechoslovakian patriot.
