AT THE MAJESTIC.

The feature Offering at the Majestic
today will be "The Earl of Pawtucket, :,
featuring Lawrence D'Orsay, the bril-.
liant English comedy star. Playing op.
posite Lawrence DOrsay is Rosemary
Therby, who is attractive and amusing
as the young divorcee. But IN spite Of
all efforts put forth by any of the Other
members Of the cast, DOrsay as the
monocled English aristocrat, holds the
hmelight.
The play is one that is particularly
we'll adapted TO the screen. Nothing
could be more delightful than the re
fined strain of burlesque, which practi
cally constitutes the body of the play
and Director Myers, who also imperson
ates one of its characters, is TO be es
pecially commended for the clever man
ner in which he has thrown into basre
lief the eccentricities Of the Englishman
One of the most thoroughly amusing in
cidents of the picture is the extingiish
ing of the fire among the curtains by
the Earl, when he has been disturbed Al
his bath by the distressed calls of lady
fair. To thoroughly appreciate the
humor of the scene in question one has
to see Il.
There has purposely been no attempt
In this review to outline the story %
the play. because It's intention and tn
significance of the pictured version i
blazoned In large and extremely comi
type on the face of the production, name
.ly, the burlesqueing of a slow going, de
liberating English aristocrat.

says
When our baby was about eleven
months old he began to grow thin and
pale. This was attributed TO the
heat and the fact that his teeth were
coming, but, In reality, the poor little
thing was starving, his mothers milk
not being sufficient nourishment.
"One day after he had cried bitter
ly for one hour. suggested that my
wife try him on Grape-Nuts. She
soaked two teaspoonfuls in half a
cup of warm water for 8 or min
utes, Then poured off the liquid and
to II added a like amount OF rich
milk and little sugar. This baby ate
ravenously.
