COMING MONDAY.
What is described as one of the funniest comedies of the year, "Mr. Lemon of Orange," in which E1 Brendel and Fifi Dorsay are co-star-red, opens at the Majestie Theatre on Monday. In this picture Brendel plays two roles. One is that of "Mr. Lemon," an inoffensive Swedish toy salesman, and the other is "Silent McGee," hardboiled gangster chieftain. The fun really starts when "Mr. Lemon," who resembles "McGee," is mistaken for the gang leader just after a truckload of liquor is hi-jacked and one of the gangsters is killed. Fifi enters the plot at this point, determined on revenging her brother, the slain man.( She invites "Mr. Lemon" to visit the night club where ; she sings, thinking he is "McGee." | When he gets there gangsters try their best to put him "on the spot." | _ How Brendel outwits the crooks and finally accomplishes the capture of both gangs affords hilarious entertainment. The other principals in the cast include William-Collier, Sr., Ruth Warren, Donald Dillaway and Joan Castle. J ohn G. Blystone directed.
