MAJESTIC THEATRE

TO-NIGHT. 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 Majestie Theatre to-day. Rogers has never been funnier than he is in this excellent adaptation of Booth Tarkington's best selling novel, , "The Plutocrat." He starts the^picture with a laugh, and works up to a climax of hilarity which sent last night's audience from the theatre still laughing. In this production Rogers, in thei role of a Middle Western business man touring abroad for pleasure and business, talces 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 the course of the picture, his sneers turning into vociferous cheers when he finally realises the true worth of Earl Tinker, the character enacted by Rogers. . , _ I Jet'ta Goudal is a fascinatiiig Parigienne, Dorothy Peterson is "Roger's nagging wife and Peggy Ross is.his daughter. Boris Karloff does very well as^ a desert sheik. David Butler who piloted Rogers successfully in , "A Connecticut Yankee," again directed the star in "Business and Pleasure," and has' done an even, better job.
