SATURDAY.
MATINEE AT 2 P.M. Will Rogers continues his triumphant career as America's greatest talking screen comedian in his newest Fox Film production, "Business and Pleasure," which opens at the Majetsic Theatre on Saturday. Rogers has never been funnier than he is in this excellent adaptation of Booth Tarkington's best selling novel, "The Plutoerat." He starts the picture with a laugh, and works up to a climax of hilarity. In this production Rogers, in the role of a Middle Western business man touring abroad ' for pleasure and business, takes some nifty cracks at the small army of snobs who think it is sophisticated to sneer at everything American when they are in Europe. Joel McCrea, as a sophisticated playwright, undergoes a complete metamorphosis during t'he course of the picture, his sneers turing into vociferous cheers when he finally realizes the true worth of Earl Tinker, the character enacted hy Rogers. Jetta Goudal is a fascinating Pai'isienne, Dorothy Peterson is Rogers' nagging wif e and Peggy Ross is his daughter. Boris Karloff does very well as a desert sheik.
