At the Majestic.


Certain well informed women
have raised the point that every
man is naturally possessed of a
certain amount of the proverbial
wild oats" and that somehow,
somewhere, sometime, in spite Of
everything, he will SOW them and
reap his. harvest; early in life,
perhaps, but certainly later. But
in "A Very Good Young Man." a
Paramount picture to be shown at
the Majestic theatre tonight Bryant
Washburn plays the stellar and
rather unique role Of the very good
young man. The young man was
good, in every sense of the word
1t has been said that you rarely
can please a woman and that If
you put just the thing she wants in
her reach, even then she will
change her mind and find fault
forthwith. OF course, every girl
wants a good man for her life's
partner. That is why Leroy Syl-
vester of the public library, the
aforementioned good" young
man, was shocked when his sweet
heart turned down his proposal of
marriage. She feared this wild
oats" proposition and considered
his angelic character as a sure
sign that he would start to cutting
capers after the honeymoon was
over, and thus make her unhappy.
But Leroy lands her after all and
in a unique and entertaining way,
that should be seen to be apprec-
lated. Donald Crisp directed and

shop unions sent a message to the

that the shopmen might stand alone.
