• L« WA1KIKI WEDDING.* ' | Bomance, hilarity and music in generons portions are provided in Para* mount'a "Waikiki Wedding," the gay eomedy of love in the pineapple groves with Bing Crosby, Bob Burns, Martha Baye and Shirley Boss which is now gcreening at the State Theatfe, Hastings. The romance is between Crosby and Miss Boss and, in lighter vein, Burns and Miss Baye. Crosby is a press agent whose job it is to keep Miss Boss, who won a trip to Waikiki in a contest, properly thrilled with the glamour of the place. He has to resort to considerable trickery to accomplish this. He falls in love with the girl and is reduced 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 eomedy. The photography is beautifuJ and there are a number of native ceremonial dances which will long be romemberecL In parlicular there is a native wedding, and a barbarie "drum dance," performed by Miri Bei, tho Tahitian dancer who proved the sensa* tion of the Ziegfeld Follies several years ago, which can be classed among the most effective motion picture ecenes captured by the cainera.
