MAJESTIC THEATRE

TO-NIGHT It's a Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey comedy, this Radio Pictures "Caught Plastered," which opens at the Majestic Theatre to-night. That is " 'nuff said." However, for the benefit of those who h'avn't seen these incorrigihle laugh kings, the picture not only is funny, but it is funny in an altogether refreshing way. It pombines new laughs and dramatic tensity. In between these two extremes are little giggles, big smiles and heart acbes. There is even some slapstick, and plenty of giddy p'atter. Oposite Wheeler is Dorothy Lee, a combination fittingly called the "Romeo and Juliet of th'8 Comedy World." Wheeler's whimsical lovemaking and Dorothy's charm are very much in evidence all through the picture. Action plunges into an absorbing story, strange as that may seem in connection with comedy. Tommy Tanner (Wheeler) and Egbert Higginbotham (Robert Woolsey) enter a midwestern town on vtheir uppers. They meet Ma Talley (Lucy Beaumont), who is about to lose her drug store because of the machinations of a illain (Jason Robai'ds). They take over the store to save her from the poorhouse, and are about ready to pay the "heavy" when h'e spikes their soda with liquor and tips off the police. When things are darkest, Dorothy Lee (daughter of the local police chief), outmanouevTes the crook.
