MAJESTIC THEATRE

TO-DAY AND TO-NIGHT Give Marie Dressler and Polly Moran something to fight about — and vvatch the laughs roll up. They're at it again — this time as jf mothers-in-law battling over the lives I of their married children, in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's "Prosperity," which opens at the Majestie Theatre to-day. I The heroines of "Caught Short" and "Politics" have as many battles as of yore, but the battles are louder and funnier. Then, too there is a dramatic twist in the new story and Marie does some straight character acting that tugs at the heartstrings. The story deals with two widows who are friends, in a small town, uni til their children get married. Each starts in to regulate the new family ; — and fur flies. Polly goes broge, there is a run on the bank. Marie gets a job in a grocery store and I figures out a way to put it on a paying basis by "trading" and "swaping" their battles nearly cause the youngstexs to get a divorce — v-nd,' then everything crashes. Marie sacrifices herself and is planning to end her life for the insurance money when Sonny comes home. All ends happily.
