en Its way from the Taclflc coast
where It was built will bear out the
pint of the owners to build a
moving picture theater where every
Important feature will be In keep
ing with tlie word "Majestic:."
The great organ was built es-
peclally for the Majestic at a cost of
125,000. There will be nothing like
It In this section of the country. It
will reproduce virtually every
Bound with which the human ear Is
acquainted. So wondorful is .its
delicate tones that it will reproduce
the notes of a violin so, perfectly
that one cannot toll the difference
between the artificial muHic and the
playing of a living violinist.
The giant electric sign on top,
which was Illuminated for the first
time last Saturday night, Is the
largest over any theater In Okla
homa. It Is a beautiful design and
has at once taken first place among
the many electrics that make up
Tulsa's "great white way."
Extremely Handsome Interior.
The Interior of the new Majestic
will be nil that the most fastidious
could demand. The very best seats
obtainable have been purchased and
there will be rest rooms for the wo
men and children, and logos for
private parlies. The decorations
will be beautiful and are now being
done by Kansas City artists.

after one moreprtnre, it is doubt
ful if there is another actress on the
screen who will have a wmer appeal
and a greater clientele of admirers
than Bessie Love.
With these three feature services
under contraat. Manager Rothsteln
claims he has the strongest regular
program of any movie house In
Tulsa and still ha room to ptve his
patrons the best of all the big ape
clal features that are made. V Of
these, more are being produced now
than ever before and life Majestic
manager says he will give his pat
rons the very pick of the best.
It's a wonderful record Ben Roth
steln has made with the Majestic.
He took It four years ago when It
was run down and after several men
had lost money on It, and put It on
Its feet. It has ever since been fine
of the most successful movie houses
In the city.
Tut nou so "On IW Feel"
When Rothsteln came o Tulsa
tne Alajestic had Just been pur
chased by Dr. C. W. McCarty, I
prominent professional man of the
city, who had been taking a "fly
In amusaments with great success
I'octor McCarty was the first man
to place opera chairs In a movie
house in this city. He was looking
for a man who could put the Ma
Jestlo. across. He found him In
nothsteln; lliey teamed up together
and their success has been marked.
Doctor McCarty, while having a
largo Interest In the house, leaves
me management entirely to Roth
stein, although of course on all Im
portant matters they advise with
each other. Doctor McCarty has
been a money-maker ever since he
struck Tulsa and himself has a keen
eye for good pictures but not quite
so good as his wife. Mrs. McCartv
'rarely misses a film at the Majestic
and she is said to be an excellent
Judge of values and pulling power.
Tulsa Is Justly proud of her new
Majestic and It will be one of the
teature spots along South Main, the
big new retail district.
The now Majestic Is owned by the
Majestic Amusement company and
the building la under lease for a
term of twenty years. The stock
holders are C. W. JJcCarty. E. R.
Ferry of the Cosden company, and B.
F. Rothsteln.
