MAJESTIC THEATRE

“THE LADY IN QUESTION.” An exciting romance rippling with gaiety and laughter, “The Lady in Question," screening to-day at the Majestic Theatre. It is a healthy and hilarious picture, yet one packed with exciting situations, with a murder trial as one of the high lights. The centre of the story is a man who serves on a jury to try a girl charged with murder, and after her acquittal he takes her into his shop without revealing her identity to his wife and family. The inevitable happens, and the truth of the girl’s situation leaks out, but in the process the principal figures go through a series of extraordinary and amusing experiences. The girl was, of course, innocent, and the son of her benefactor, torn between his love for her and his knowledge of who she was, has to be taught a summary lesson before he finally believes in her. "The Lady in Question” is a tonic and worth seeing. It shows Brian Aherne and Rita Hayworth at their best. The associate programme of “shorts" includes an Andy Clyde comedy, a Sports Thrill, “Master of the Cue,” a colour rhapsody, “Tour of the Alps,” and views in the latest airmail news, including the departure of Sir Charles Newall for New Zealand as Governor-General. “Dr. Kiltlare Goes Home” A romance played against rustic swimming pools, a battle by physicians against an obscure and deadly malady, and hilarious comedy blend science with entertainment in "Dr. Kildare Goes Home,” newest of the Kildare medical mysteries, with Lew Ayres, Lionel Barrymore and Laraine Day. The picture adds a new doctor to the staff of Blair Hospital in John Shelton, young stage actor who recently scored with Lana Turner in “We ' Who Are Young.” and Gene Lockhart, veteran character actor, becomes the “mystery patient” rescued from a baffling malady. “Dr. Kildare Goes Home” commences to-morrow at the Majestic Theatre.
