MAJESTIC THEATRE.
Undoubtedly one of the most entertaining talkies yet screened in Wellington is "Words and Music," the all-talking, singing, and dancing production, which is now being screened at the Majestic Theatre. The scene of the story is Darell, an American University, where the students are about to produce their annual frolic. A prize of £300 is offered for the best ensemble number. Interest centres on two rival producers—the college bully and the son of the local music store owner. There is rich comedy in the student capers that precede the opening of the competition scenes, but the character of the story remains unaltered until the moment arrives for the presentation of tlie rival numbers. Then "Words and Music" becomes a musical comedy indeed —with tuneful numbers, gorgeous frocking, excellent dancing, and perfect ensembles of several kinds. Lois Moran is starred and proves an extremely versatile little actress. The excellent supporting programme includes soina motor-boat racing, depicting Gar Wood, the American speed boat king. George Bernard Shaw gives an address on sea bathing, and Clark and M'Culloch are seen In their latest hilarious comedy, "The Diplomats."
