No better vehicle could have been chosen for the triumphal return to the screen of W. C.

The Majestic Theatre Is. putting on a double attraction to-morrow- Charlotte Bronte's immortal classic, "Jane Eyre," and the mystery_melo- drama, "The Thirteenth Gues Featured in the former are Virginia Bruce and Colin Clive; whilst in the latter Ginger Rogers has the lead in a strong cost.
"Tko Maruificent Brute" "The Magnificent Brute," starring Victor McLaglen, Academy award winner, introduces the age of steel to the cinema, at the Alhambra Theatre 10-day. This is the first time that the awe-inspiring background of a steel mill has been used for a feature screen production. Fantastic flame effects, the glow of molten metal, the bursting showers of steel sparks and grotesque shadows pre shown in marvellous photographic treatment, which heightens the drama enucled by the interesting characters In the tale of primitive men and prime beauties. Victor McLagien in the title role is cast as a modern swashbuckler with a roving eye. He is a tremendous giant of a fellow who towers above most men and is torn between two blondes. Binnie Barnes gives a splendid characterization, as a girl who delights in enusing mon to fight over her. She is attractive enough to make the fighting stem worth while. William Hall, a tall, well-bulit newcomer to the screen, gives glorious battle to Victor Me- Laglen in a titanic conflict that is a classic. Interesting as the struggle is between the men, there is a striving for conquest between Binule Barnes and Jean Dixon which reveals new. highlights in feminine nature. Their wiles to win the affection of Victor McLaglen, "The Magnificent Brute,” is a lesson in how to get your man." Henry Armetta, the comedian who is welcomed by audience laughter be fore he speaks a line, has a prominent role.
