MOVIE CRAZY

MOST HUMOROUS TALKIE AT MAJESTIC THEATRE. The longest series of big laughs ever assembled in one motion picture sequence are credited to Harold Lloyd's latest release, "Movie Crazy," with Constance Cummings, th'e first picture the bespectacled comedian has made in two years, which comes on Monday to the Majestic Th'eatre. Eight. minutes of consecutive laughproducing incidents have been rolled in one "faction" of "Movie Crazy," according to reports of the picture at different previews on the Pacifie Coast giving Lloyd, as well as every other comedian, a record to shoot .t in the future. . j Previous to the magician's coat sequence in "Movie Crazy," which sets the new laugh'-making figures, Lloyd rated his greatest series of continuous laughter, the football scenes and the basted suit episodes in "Coljege Days." in "Movie Crazy,"' one gag rolls into another, and to the satisfied amazement of Lloyd, neither dialogue j nor music is heard in the entire ball room situation, which runs virtually the length of an entire reel.

There are three, among the numerous laugh factions in "Movie Crazy," which stand out in relief, and it is going to be difficult to find any two persons who will agree as to which is the funniest. There is a test scene which for novelty and laughs will be difficult to surpass; the magician's coat episode and the fight which climaxes the story, any one of which would have been sufficient to carry a feature length comedy to successful results.
