TO-DAY AND TO-NIGHT
"Monte Carlo," Paramount's special attraction, opened at the Majestic Theatre last night, and was greatly enjoyed by the audience. Named after the famed town of the tiny principality of Monaco, playground of the rich, comic opera land of princes, princesses and blue horizons, this picture has been deftly directed by Ernst Lubitsch. It is a musical romance. A bride runs away from her wedding, gambles her fortune on the spin of the wheel and falls in love with a hairdresser. That in itself does not sound intriguing, but the charm and skill of Lubitsch make "Monte Carlo" a great picture. Jeanette MaeDonald is the runaway Countess Yera. Jack Buchanan, London musical comedy favourite, shares the honours as the Prince of an unknown kingdom posing as a barber. Others in the cast are Zazu Pitts, Claud Allister, and Edgar Norton. Several catchy songs are introducpd, sung by Jeanette MaeDonald and Jack Buchanan. The shorts include The Fox News, a comedy and Talkartoon. A matinee will be held to-day and on Wednesday.
