MAJESTIC
“BURNING UP” Entertainment is the chief ingredient of “Burning Up,” Richard Arlen’s first starring Paramount all-talking picture, which is at the Majestic Theatre. The action is fast and full of thrilling, suspenseful moments; the climaxes are carefully built; the love story is human and likeable. Mary Brian as the girl is one of the sweetest screen sweethearts ever seen. Arlen is a young automobile racing driver, ambitious to succeed in a big way. Unwittingly, he becomes involved in a crooked promotion scheme whereby Sam Hardy and Tally Marshall hope to make a great deal of money by framing a race between Arlen and Francis McDonald, his rival. Arlen, however, has fallen in love with Mary Brian, whose father, Charles Sellon, has been marked for a victim by the promoters. Arlen discovers their plot and, in a smashing climax, he defeats their purpose, beats McDonald in a thrilling automobile race, and wins the girl. A splendid talkie supporting programme is also being presented.
