MAJESTIC

LAST DAYS OF “BURNING UP” With a strong, well-balanced cast playing the supporting roles, Richard Arlen makes his debut as a Paramount star in “Burning Up,” the all-talking feature at the Majestic Theatre. The story is a rapid-fire love story, with Mary Brian playing opposite the star. Talkie fcaturettes are also being shown. Loretta Young anh Douglas Fairbanks, jun., the youngest “team” in films, appear together in their fourth picture in “Loose Ankles,” the First National and Vitaplione production c.oming to the Majestic on Thursday. Tho story is a most amusing one, centring around a bequest of a million dollars. This sum is left to a girl subject to a proviso that she shall marry a man who meets with the approval of her Aunts Sarah and Katherine. Otherwise the estate goes to other relatives, unless there is a scandal in the family, in which case the will provides that the whole estate goes to a cat and dog hospital. The fun begins when the girl trle3 to find a man who will please her as well as her two maiden aunts, and at the same time to avoid the complication of a threatening scandal. Tho fun waxes fast and furious when the aunts become Involved in a scandal, and are only too anxious to free themselves.
