MAJESTIC

■ | TO-DAY AND TO-NIGHT. I Not only is "Hook, Line and Sink- | eij," now showing at the Majestic Theatre, said to be thei greatest Bert | Wheeler and Robert Woolsey comej| dy to date, but it is said to contain $ more varied and genuine entertainment than any fun-film ever produced. £ Much of its action takes place in | the largest indoor set ever built, a | rambling completely equipped hotel I where the troupe spent six weeks, il "shooting" 868 hilarious scenes. | For exterior scenes, the historic | Bakersfield, California, country — a % land of magnificent rugged beauty — l! was visited. The story constructed solely for i| laughing purposes, presents a laugh- - a-second tale of a clash between big ~i underworld mobs and high society fashionables. This necessitated using dramatic players such as Ralf Hafolde, Hollywood's most debonair villain; Natal'e Moofhead, vampish beauty; George Marion, with 50 years experience in acting; Hugh Herbert, well known character actor, and six others equally as wellknown. A.mong the professional funsters who have contributed to this thrilling all-laughing comedy-romance were Dcrothy Lee, whose sense of humour does not detract from her rare beauty; Jobyna Howland, Amazonian comedienne; Tim Whelan, veteran humourist-writer; Ralph Spence, wise eracking dialoguist, and;- of I course, Bert Wheeler.
