MAJESTIC THEATRE

TO-DAY AND TO-NIGHT One of the prominent members of the cast of "Sunny," Marilyn Miller's starring First National and Vitaphone production which- is now running at the Majestic Theatre, is Inez Courtney. Miss Courtney is known as one of the cleverest of stage comedians. She was a hit in the stage production of "Good News," and practically stole the stage show, "Spring is Here." She is one of the cleverest dancers and singers on either stage or screen, j in addition to being a comedienne, | but she has no chance to show these talents in "Sunny," for the only dancing and singing is by Miss Miller and her partner Joe Donahue. Each dance or song is used to tell the story, and is not interjected. There are no choruses. Miss Courtney plays the role of "Weenie," the little comedy English girl whom Joe Donahue leaves be- i hind at Southampton when the rest of the troupe moves to America. Joe marries Sunny in a nominal match, in order to get her into America, although he still loves Weenie. This is very hard to explain to Weenie — but it is explained in-the end. "Sunny" has an excellent cast. In addition to the aforementioned, O. P. Heggie, Lawrence Gray, Clyde Cook, Barbara Bedford, and Mackenzie Ward are in support of Miss Miller.
