MAJESTIC Excitement and interest in "Excuse .My-Dust," )Wallace Reid's rapid mov- ing release which will be shown for three days beginning today at the Majestic, is heightened by the trans- continental race'which takes place be- tween Reid-as "Toodles" Waldon, man- pany, J. D. Ward, also of the Dar:o company, and two drivers of an un- scrupulous and pesumptuous con-3 cern. c Although the race is ostensibly a contest between Darco and Fargo cars, all the machines used are act- ually Darco products. The two cars, entered by the Fargo company are' new Darco's disguised, "Toodles" drives an old Darco rebuilt to pass as a new one, and his father-in-law drives the only undisguised machine. As the race progresses it develops in- to a contest between "Toodles" 64 fensive tactics and his rival's tricks to put his car out of commission or run him off the road. Theodore Rob- erts, Ann Little, and Tully Marshall are in the able supporting cast. In spite of the watchful efforts of David Powell as Arsene Lupin, a French master-crook living inn an American town as a respectable gen- tleman, in"Teeth of the Tiger," com- ing Wednesday and Thursday to the Majestic, Henry Forbes, his million- aire friend, was found murdered one morning. Forbes had feared death ever since Dr. Varney, his physician, had falsely told him that his wife was plotting with a family friend to kill him to get his money. Lupin's difficulties in carrying out his vow to bring the criminal to jus- tice are increased by the appearance of Jabot, a French detective. With a number of unexpected developments the mystery is unravelled and the romance accompanying it is brought to a successful conclusion. And then there is "The Haunted that the story could have 'been c Bookshop" in which the author in- ried along quite as successfully ha dulges in some decidedly pertinint been left out altogether, but even observations upon authors, ancient cannot reduce the sparkling wit and modern, together with a great shining epigram with which the b many q-ite novel and startling ideas is tinged.

WERTH MAN ly out of his twenties, this young American is doing more towards giv- ing America, a place in literature than alimost any other writer of our own day.
