GRAND THEATRE
TO-NIGHT "Whoopee," which came to the Grand Theatre last night, is one of those pictures which gives the public its money's worth in almost any direction one can think of. Hilarious comedy from such experts as Eddie Cantor, the star, and Ethel Shutta, tuneful songs of every variety, beautiful girls galore as only Ziegfeld can pick them, an affecting love story, and a general air of satisfying lavishness make it a picture in a million. Samuel Goldwyn has here shown that the talking colour screen can out-do the stage whenever it wants to take the trouble. "Whoopee" is a rich treat of a sort which is seldom seen. The story, taken from Owen Davis' famous farce "The Nervous Wreck" is eoncerned with the adventures of an imaginary invalid on a western ranch who finds himself called on to rescue the ranchman's daughter from an unwelcome marriage. After turning he-man and doing a satisfactory job of getting her married to her real love he finds himself in the hands of„ the domineering nurse who wants to* marry. him; but he has been anything but an invalid for a few days and refused to think himself one any longer.
