MAJESTIC THEATRE

“She’s My Lovely,” starring Gloria Jean and Donald O’Connor, screen finally at the Majestic Theatre to-day. The film is a tuneful, breezy romantic drama in which several topical song hits are heard. "Calling Dr. Gillespie.” A romance, a strange case of dual personality, and thrills and mystery m a great hospital go into M-G-m s “Calling Dr. Gillespie,” a gripping duai personality mystery screening at the Majestic Theatre to-morrow. Its thrills and mystery are blended with many moments of hilarity as well as a tender love story. This is a brand new film and should not be confused with the "Kildare” series. The story deals with the discovery by Dr. Gillespie, played by Lionel Barrymore and Dr. Gerneide, portrayed by Philip Dorn of symptoms of a strange dementia in Roy Todwell, young socialite depicted by Philij Brown. His wealthy parents and "society doctor” scorn their warnings, until the youth develops "spells” during which he becomes a homicidal maniac. He finally invades the hospital intent on killing the older doctor, who is saved in a surprising climax. Dramatic highlights are the heroine’s discovery of her lover's mad phases; his attack on two automobile salesmen, and the masquerade by which he entered the hospital intent on slaying the doctor who was trying to save his life. Harold S. Bucquet directed.
