MAJESTIC.

The Island OF Surprise" offered
in the Majestic. Sunday, is a nrst-
rate picture. presenting a pleasing
IL romantic story In an entertain
lng manner. The arrangement OF
the scenes, the acting and the back
grounds are OF the best. IL was
written BY the Rev. Cyrus Townsend
Brady As straight drama, but II pos
sesses moments OF unexpected
comedy
Just Why there should be cause
for laughter IN the plight OF the
man and two women stranded on a
desert isle might be dificult 10 ex.
plain. but the fact remains that
Sundays audiences found hunor
rather than tragedy in the situation
OF man embarrassed by the devo-
ton OF his companions--one his un-
acknowledged wife, the o.her the
woman TO whom he was supposed
10 be engaged. Thcir >fforts win
him when he is mentally unoal-
anced-hsving forgotten past Incl
dents because OF blow on the head
provided keen enjoyment The
play includes a number OF thrill
lers," including a wreck OF two pas
senger trains meeting head-on. Will
liam Courtenay, Eleanor Woodruff
and zena Keefe carry the leading
roles with spirit.
The comedy hlm introduces Frank
Daniels in a clever farce, "Mr. Jack
"a Hallroom Hero" The Majestic
orchestra provides descriptive
American and Indian fantasy, en-
titled THE Battle OF Little Big
Horn" Henry Santrey sings two
numbers. and the travelogue, in col

As Elise, sweet and innocent
little girl OF the Swiss Alps, Mar
guerite Clark scores another hlm
triumph this week. in the Washing
ton theater, in the photo-drama
"Out in the Drifts" The story OF
the play is laid in the Alps. and
the action revolves principally
around three people-Elise. Ru'
dolph. mountain guide, and Re
ginaid Van Rensselaer,. a young
Englishman.
Rudolph is devoted TO Elise, and
has cared for her since the death OF
her father in an avalanche. Van
Rensselaer, il a spoiled youth OF
wealth, accustomed TO indulging in
any caprice. and when he meets
Elise, he makes a plaything OF her,
too. until interfered with by Ru'
dolph. The latter. in his anger at
the discovery that Van Rensselaer,
is about TO take Elise 10 England

her there. throws Van Rensselaer,
over precipice. Later. Elise hnds
the wounded man and takes him
TO her cottage TO nurse him back
TO health. This experience arouses
the latent good in Van Rensselaer,.
and he goes away to make himself
worthy OF Elise's love. The story
ends happily for both.
The Burton Holmes easy chair

Point. to spend a day with the
cadets Uncle Sam Is training for
future officers Of the army. The
laughs on the bill are with Harry

You see. there was just a wee bit OF
doubt In Reddy's mind-doubt OF
Farmer Browns Boy. He couldn't
forget how once upon time Far
mer Browns Boy had hunted the lit.
tie meadow and forest people with
his terrible gun and had set traps
for them. SO he couldn't help hav'
iug just a little suspicion that Far
mer Browns Boy might have set
that cruel snare which had caused
Mrs Grouse so much pain and
fright.
