MAJESTIC THEATRE

TO-DAY AND TO-NIGHT Brazenly labeiled as simon-pure nonsense, "P.almy, .. Days," the new Eddie Cantor song-and-gag f estival opened last night.at th&..'„M^jestic Theatre a.s Samuel . Goldwyn's successor to tKeir in^uguraf, "WJio.opee.'' It. is a gay, comic strip kind .of a yarri,; in which C.antdr fs sqen as thp. unypllihg,. assistant to,,a gang of falce. spirtualists, who hirg hina _ out as, ari, efficiency expert to Tyreck a modernistic bakery that might have come out of ari Arahian nights fantasy, For no bakery in this world could. over hav.e such a collection of beauties as disport . themselves iri "Palriiy Days," .Splomori iri . all his glpry, nor. .Ziegfeid. iri all his. life riever coll'ected such' a bevy as this. TKe new Caritor film, f Palmy Days" strikes out a, new field for itself- — one that is certainly to be made large, as a new vogue in screeri entertairiment.. F.or. Goldwyn's underclad, eyo-filiirig beauties . go through their thrillirig dances only, when a dance sqems to have. some rhyme or reason. iri ,the story,— in a gymnasium, for instance, or at a moonlight party. And Con Conrad's turieful songs are heard not to puhctuate or stop the: story, but as a part of it. The songs ^hd dances become woven into the plot. Eddie is aided and ahetted by .the elongated and lanky Charlotte Greenwood, she who has . legs like the hands of a clock. Together, they amble and ramble through the blithe rionserise of the story as hosts* and leaders to the battalion of Hollywood's niost decorative. femininity*. Barbar'a Wpeks, , one of Samuel Goldwyn's newest discoveries, lissome, winsome and sweet, is a not inconsiderable attraction in the bevy.
