MAJESTIC THEATRE.

"HOT FOR PARIS."

Victor McLaglen, in his first straightcomedy effort, '-'Hot For Paris," which will be shown at the Majestio Theatre next week, almost outshines the greater comedians of the screen with his broad clowning, and he. is. admirably assisted by three good artists in El Brendel, Fifi Dorsay, and ■Polly Moran, who early in the picture set a merry P sc9 and see to it that it is well sustained. The story is a great deal more convincing that most comedy plots. bein» that-of a sailor, who arrives with his ship at the port'of Havre, to discover that be has won several thousand francs in a lottery. He decides to' see Paris, and: sets out with a stringof - admiring retainers in train, iso one who has- seen i Victor McLaglen can doubt. the. very real comedy that he is capable of putting into: this seemingly innocent situation. Fifi Dorsay sings some dellghtfdl songs, but in the vocal section McLaglen ' quite excels himself. ' Hot or Paris" is'a vastly funny picture, character-ised-by. some of the most amusing acting and words sien and heard on the screen. A short talkie comedy called Tramc Troubles," will also be. presented, as well as a series of interesting news films in sound. The boar plans are at 'the Bristol Piano Company, where seats may b.e reserved.
