MAJESTIC TO-NIGHT

Whether thfey are high, low, or mid-dle-hrow, filmgoers will laugh continuously and when they are not laughing they will he crying from shaer exhaustion, such a fund of humour do Stanley Lupino and Lupino Lane provide for them in "Love Lies," which opens at the Majestic Theatre tonight. As J'erry Walker, a confirmed misogynist, Lupino malces his talkie debut, directed by his famous cousin, Lupino Lane. The fun is fast and furious, with Jerry flying from the passionate embraces of Junetta, a Spanish vamp, P'ortrayed hy Binnie Barnes, only to run hang into the machinations of his bosom pal, Rolly and his wife, Joyee, played by Jack Hohbs and Dorothy Boyd. On the arrival of -Rolly's Uncle, who has forbidden him to marry, Joyce is foisted on to Jerry, and he finds this newly married state embarassing, to say the least, when his own uncle arrives complete with the lady he has chosen to be Jerry's wife. Faced with threats of a penniless jfuture, Jerry and Rolly put their heads t gether and form a plot into which is ] introduced the mysterious Madame I Yvette. Jerry's uncle demands an j introduction to the fair lady, and pro- j ceeds to "buy her off" his nephew, to ] the tune of £2000. The climax is reached when, with the cheque safely reposing in her trousers pocket, Madame Yvette is "discovered" to be none other than the luckless Jerry. But why go on ? With a supporting cast, including Sebastian Smith and Dennis Hoey as the Uncles, Wallis Arthur, Denis O'Neill, Charles Courtneidge and Arty Ash, "Love Lies" is a fihn that picturegoers must not miss. A series of slides of the local horsemen will also be screened.
