They are weirdly prophetic in "The Fortune Teller.” the Itobertson-Cole Super-Special. starring Marjorie Rambeau, the greatest emotional actreaB of the American stage, which opens today nt the Strand theatre for a run of three days. The screen version of the celebrated stage success dealing with mother love and psychic phenomena is even more powerful than the play, the big scenee of which necessarily were lim ited by the stage restrictions. “The Fortune Teller" shows a great actress In a great story, a story filled . - with tense, dramatic situations. The action Is rapid and big scene follows big scene with almost breath-taking swiftness. But the "big scenes" are only •'pot-boilers*' In comparison with the truly great moments of the pic ture which show Mitw Ratnbeau at the very pinnacle of her art. Whether cards are false or true prophets is a debatable question, but in "The Fortune Teller" they form the basis of a plot inextricably woven with the appeal of mother-love and the mysteries of psychic phen omena. “Fog O’Mj Heart” Coming Saturday and atl nextthe Majestic Players will play J.
