MAJESTIC THEATRE

This WeekJs Attractions Scheduled for screening at the Majestic Theatre in Taupo this week are four cinema features, each with the comedy element well in the picaure to provide the laughs. "Two Weeks With Love," an M.G.M. Technicolor musical rcmance, stars Jane Powell and Ricardo Montalban in a settmg that dates back to the early years of the century. The courting days and the courting ways of that receding era snow up a mirth-pro-voking light. This feature is down for screening this (Wednesday) evening. For Friday's snow a double feature is iisted — "Saddle Pals," with Gene Autry and his horse Champion junior, as the high-liglits, is in the best tradition of the ever-popular W'estern film and quality. Champion Junior is said to be equal to the screen form of his celebrated sire, and Gene Autry has ample scope for his musical and dramatic talent. The companion feature brings Jack Carson with an ice-cream salesman's motif tacked to his role in "The Good Humour Man." There is scope- here for uproarious comedy in the hilarious tradition of the "Fuller Brush Man," which put Carson right in the spotlight. There have been great lovers right through history. On Saturday evening patrons of the Majestic will see another — of all persons in such a role, no less than Bob Hope, who is coupled with Rhonnda Fleming in a Paramount Technicolor that reaches a high mark in staging, music, and irresistable comedy. Most of the great lovers of history made a serious business of it, but Bob Hope thinks and. acts differently.
