MAJESTIC THEATRE

“SEVEN SINNERS.” Marlene Dietrich stars in the new Universal film, “Seven Sinners,” a romance of the South Seas in which she appears opposite John Wayne. It concludes to-night at the Majestic Theatre. An outstanding cast is seen in support of the two- stars, including Albert Dekker, Broderick Crawford, Mischa Auer, Billy Gilbert, Anna Lee, Samuel S. fiinds, and Oscar Homolka. Oscar Homolka, celebrated Continemai star, returns to the screen in "Seven Sinners” after a long absence, and plays a mysterious figure out of Miss Dietrich's past. “Contraband” In the tradition of the great stage and film success “The Luck of the Navy,” which played long seasons in the war of 1914-18, is the M.-G.-M. British film “Contraband.” a rattling good thriller full of the tang of the sea. which is to commence to-morrow at the Majestic Theatre. Swiftly the action changes from contraband detection methods by the Royal Navy in the English Channel to pulse-quicken-ing encounters with a nest of Nazi spies concealed in the night haunts of wartime London following the outbreak of war in 1939. Tall, handsome Conrad Veidt, as Captain Andersen, skipper of a Danish liner, plays convincingly the part of an adventurous seafarer following a beautiful British girl spy into the coils of underground Nazidom. Valerie Hobson is the spy.
