MAJESTIC THEATRE
TO-NIGHT MIN AND BILL "Min and Bill," is the story of the love of a rough waterfront divekeeper (Miss Dressler) for the little waif that is left at her place by her mother, a prostitute. The sacrifices she makes to keep the girl in ignoi'ance of her origin make up the serious side of the story. George Hill has directed the talkie in an understanding manner and the pictures moves fast ajid carries the story in a forceful manner. Miss Dressler's transitions from comedy 'to serious drama are remarkable and .stamp her as a versatile artist — more so than her most ardent fans imagined. Beery is her boarder and between them they create a lot of laughs amid the serious situations. Dorothy Jordan is splendid as the daughter ahd Majorie Rambeau does a marevllous characterisation as the prostitute. A runaway motorboat provides a world of thrills, and a hand-tohand battle between Beery and Miss Dressler is packed with laughs. The picture can't miss on.the names alone, and it won't disappoint the comedy fans even if they don't care for the more serious moments, for it has plenty of laughs.
