MAJESTIC THEATRE.

"FOOTLIGHTS AM) FOOLS."

J uajring- from the aucce*3 on her ttrsb talking and singing picture, it was not to be wondered at that Colleen Moore'a ctcond talkie, "Footlights and Fools," would have as great a aucceas v.itii her admirer 3. Entering, for the hret time, the ranks of the musical comedy atara of the screen, Mit>3 Moore nn.ll, at the Majestic Theatre next week, give other instances o£ her remarkable versatility, a.nd her pronounced ability aa a dancer and Ginger. "Footlights and Fools" is the story of a plain, Irish-American jiri who crashes the pearly gates of etajeland under the name, wig, and manners of a. tempestuous Frenchwoman. Fifi d'Auray and Betty Murphy are cue and the aime, and tho situation has immense comedy potentialities. That Colleen Moore, who ian!;s as one of the screen's beat comediennes, exploits them to the full is taken for granted. She makes "Footlights" and Fools" a. rollicking comedy, backed with plenty of music a la. mode, bright ballets, and handßome ensembles. The two leading men'aro'Raymond Hackett and Frederic March. Box plans are no.v open at The Bristol Piano Company.
