MAJESTIC
TO-NIGHT If you can picture Buster Keaton in the role of a ''great lover" you have a partial idea of the hilarity which pervades the comedian's latest talkie, "Parlour, Bedroom and Bath," which opens to-night at the Majestic Theatre. Charlotte Greenwood, whose droll antics added immeasurably to the success of the Broadway hit, was wisely included in the talkie cast, and her inimitable stunts with those long legs get as many roars from the audience as ever. One scene in particular in which Miss Greenwood "plays dead" and Keaton attempts in vain to hide her elongated body is as funny as anything ever seen on the screen. There are plenty of other performers in "Parlour, Bedroom and Bath," and when they all get together pandemonium reigns and a volcano of laughs ensues. Reginald Denny as a matchmaker, Cliff Edwards as a bellhop, Dorothy Christy as the girl who captures Keaton, Joan Peers, Sally Eilers, Natalie Moorhead, Edward Brophy, Walter Merrill and Sidney Bracy all have a prominent share in the fun.
