TOP-NOTCH PROGRAM AT THE MAJESTIC THEATRE “The King of the Wire,” the three-act Edison photoplay at the Majestic, is one of the most sen- sational films ever screened. The story is pleasing in itself, while the work of Patricia Beverly, a newspaper reporter, is remark- ably clever. The hero of the play is a circus wire specialist, who gives a most daring exhibition in the concluding stages of the piece, carrying Patricia along a tele- phone wire on his shoulder. “The Black Diamond Express” is a thrilling railroad drama, including the finest aeroplane scene ever pictured. The comedies are irresistibly funny. “A Quiet Litthe Game” brofight forth peal after peal of laughter last night, while Billie Reeves, in “Queenie of the Nile,” simply convulsed the audience. Billie is hired to play Antony to a crazy woman who thinks she is Cleopatra, and Chap- lin never looked funnier than Billie does in this comedy. There is not a dull moment in-the whole show.
