JOHNNIE WALKER GETS
HISTORICAL ROLE

Johnnie Walker has been engaged
by Paramount to play the role of
Stephen Decatur in "Old Ironsides, :"
the big historical naval film now be-

story was dramatized by Laurence
Stallings from material prepared by
Harry Carr and Walter Woods. Some
idea of the scope of the production
may be gained from the announce

are now in California waters being
remodelled into old men-of-war; that
the fighting frigate Constitution (bet-
ter known as "0ll Irohsides") is be-

MENTAL WIZARD
HEADS BILL At
MAJESTIC
Song, Dance and Comedy,
Road and Glory Film,
Complete Program

The Majestic theater's programs
have been uniformly good this season.
but the one that opened yesterday af-
ternoon is above par.
With Harry Kahne, the mental
gymnast heading the bill, the new
program runs the gamut of entertain
ment possibilities. There's magic,
there's song and dance and there is
comedy. ,
Kahne keeps the customers guess
ing with his ability to make his mind
do six different things all at the
same time. Plenty of grey matter
this fellow has. He writes a string
of figures upside down and inside out
and ads them. He takes words you
have never heard before and spells
them in any fashion at all getting
letters downside up and outside in.
Then he recites poem or two and
reads newspaper all at the same
time. The audience is let in on the
act and shouts questions at the tricky
photographer. Adding figures that run
into billions means nothing to the
Majestic headliner.
DANCING ACT.
Gretta Ardine, with Johnny Tyrell
and Dave Kaye, presents n pretty
dance story she calls "The French
Model" an act that is as speedy and
brilliant as any that have been
through this year. Miss Ardine is one
Of a dancing family and her ability
to do the intricate dance steps puts
her in the front rank with her sisters
who have played the Majestic at va
rious times. The boys in the turn
are capable steppers too and vie with
another in putting on the most diff
ficult and snowy steps of an eccentric
nature.
On the silyersheet there's a lot of
action in "The Road to Glory" a
William Fox thrill story that features
May McAvoy and Leslie Fenton.
Ford Sterling also is in the cast. The
story takes in social life, intrigue,
dramatic situations, an amusing in
cident or two and romance that is
bright. There isn't draggy minute.
FREAK FILM SHOWN.
Fenton and Fields in Imported
From Scotland" start with a surprise
and then keep the audience happy with
their chatter, dance steps and song.
This a clever duo, and they have q
great way of selling their ideas to the
patrons. The act moves along swift
ly with laughter material all the
time. They. have some interesting
ideas in dance numbers.
A directors job is to direct. Eddie
Cole and George Snyder do an act

foil for Coles comedy. They chatter

vivid highlights of the screen feature

Thompson plays the title role.
The title of the story adequately
expresses the character of the role

No Bobbed Hair for Movies

eliminate one of the greatest assets
that was ever allowed to the natural

'bobbed hair type thereby limiting
herself to one characterization. 1t is
difficult to associate bohbed hair with
any other generation than this one.
