MAJESTIC TO-NIGHT
For the first time in seven years, Harold Lloyd will be seen in a motion picture of sky-scraper thrills, when"Feet First," a Paramount release, opens at the Majestic Theatre tonight. In 1924, this bespectacled king of eomedy created a sensation when he released, "Saf ety Last." The dangers encountered by Lloyd in that one, forced him to resolve never to make another of that dare-devil type. He lived up to that promise to himself — and the insurance companies— until he developed an idea that was so promising from a thrill angle, that he closed his eyes to his owta resolution, to keep forevermore off the sides and cornices of buildings. That "Feet First" has sensational thrills which exceed those of "Safety Last" was demonstrated when this picture was first shown. While the comedian dangled from a painter's scaffold, ten stories above the ground,-or fell through an awning- three stories below, women screamed hysterically, men laughed nervously, and youngsters clung to the arms of their chairs, breathlessly, tense, watching for the next thrill. A good list of shorts will also be screened.
