"WAIHIHI WEDDING."
Bomance, hilarity and music tu generous portions are provided in Paramount's "Waikiki Wedding," the gay comedy of love in the pineapple groves with Bing Crosby, Bob Burns, Martha Eaye and Shirley Eosa which is now screening at the State Theatre, Hastings. The romance is between Grosby and Mies Eoss and, in lighter vein, Burns and Miss Eaye. Crosby i> a press agent whose job it ia to keep Miss Eoss, who won a trip to Waikiki in a contest, properly thrilled with the glamour of the piaee. He has to resort to considerable trickery to accomplisb this. He falls in love with the girl and is xeduced to the necessity of undoing his trickery with honest romancing to win her. The direction was skilfully handled by Frank Tuttle who is thoroughly at home with this type of comedy. The photography is beautifuJ and there are a number of native ceremonial dances wMch will long be remembered. . In partieular there is » native wedding, and a barbaric " drum dance," performed by Miri Eei, the Tahitian dancer who proved the sensa* tion of the Ziegfeld Follies several years ago, which can be classed among the most effective motion picture seenes captured by the camera.
