ENTERTAINMENTS.

MAJESTIC THEATRE. "Sky Deyils," a spectacular comedy of the air, will be shown finally tonight at the Majestic Theatre. This picture, featuring Spencer Tracy, William Boyd and George Cooper in the title roles, and with Ann Dvorak, Hollywood's "latest Cinderella," as the chief feminine interest, has been acclaimed by metropolitan critics 'as the outstanding comedy achievement of the year. It is a rapid-fire and thrilling tale of three aerial musketeers, and its brilliant comedy is embellished throughout with spectacular air scenes. This is Howard Hughes' first comedy production since his inaugural laughhit "Two Arabian Knights." "Sky Deyils" combines both comedy and spectacle, and besides its rare humour it contains many air thrills comparable only to "Hell's Angels." There are several highly-interesting films in support.
