THEATRES
Majestic Feature

The reactions of a girl brought
into the world from the innocent Sc
clusion of a convent is a dramatic
situation which has ALWAYS had
large possibilities.
In the past, however, criticism has
been heaped on certain actresses for
the manner in which they attempted
to depict the convent-bred; to por-
tray a life concerning which they
personally had had no experience.
And so it was that when 1.-THE
Sleep Walker" was slated for the
screen, Constance Binney, whose
early educational days were spent
in a convent-and a strict French
convent at that, was chosen as the
star.
This experience was most import
ant to the story. which deals with
dramatic events that occur when an
innocent girl is thrown into a vor-
tex o Intrigue, a situation thrillingly
complicated by her own habit of
sleep-walking.
THE Sleep Walker" which is to
open at the Majestic theatre for
three days beginning tomorrow has
all the elements to please an audi
ence. 1t was written by Aubrey
Stauffer. Edward lie Saint directed
from the scenario by Wells Hastings.
