High-Class Mclodrama M the Majestic

Come Thru" the big seven reel
Jewel production which opened at the
Majestic yesterday. is one OF the
strongest melodramas that has been
screened. 1t is admirably directed
and the photoplay is standard. while
the cast is composed of capkble and
experienced players. Herbert Raw
lnson and Alice Lake. are in the hero
and "shero" parts and both are ex-
celcnt. Miss Lake shines particularly
in the cabaret dancing scene, in
which she displays unexpected clever
ness, and Rawlinson, too, surprises
with his terpsichorean ability. Jean
Hathaway and Roy Stewart are other
well-known stars among the support
and both have important roles which
they portray well. The story is one
that requires a large cast of capable
players and they are there.
1t is a rather preteuuous produC-
tion, some of the scenes being on
quite a big scale.
Come Thru" was written by
George Bronson Howard. one of our
most successful playwrights, VINO has
II long line of big stage successes to
his credit. II is full OF tense and dra-
matte situations and 40 well drawn
that interest never lags but rather
approaches-sure proof that it came
from trained and dramatic mind
So many fillum ''mellos" are loosely
constructed and jimmed with anti
climaNes that tempt you to get up
and leave here and there but don't,
hoping things will get better.
There is slight similarity between
Come Thru and "'The Auction
Block" which Just preceded 1t on the
Majestic screen. Both start with mem
bers OF the "shero's" family trying to
marry her off to some fellows money.
And OF course "the devil is to pay
as "A result.
Ii is probable that those who saw
The Auction Block" may not be able
TO give Come Thru" all IL really de-
serves. for compared with The Auc-
tion Block" Come Thru" seems an
ordinary picture. But compared with
the everyday menus of the screen and
the so-called "melodramas' that are
such in name only, Come Thru" is "A
thrilling. gripping. powerfully drawn
story Of high merit Herbert Raw
linson has a fine opportunity in II
and does himself credit. While the
supporting east is good, he and Miss
