MAJESTIC THEATRE.

"Love on the Run."

"Love on the Run," which opens at the Majestic Theatre tomorrow, celebrates the reunion of that most delightful of love teams —Joan Crawford and Clark Gable—in their first picture together since "Forsaking AH Others." Marked by the directorial wizardry of W. S. Van Dyke, the new Crawford-Gable romance unfolds itself with verve and spirit, proving itself to be one of the most engaging and entertaining comedy-melodramas of the year. Miss Crawford in the new picture reverts to her talent for light comedy. As •an American heiress abroad endowed with a spirit of adventure she gives a portrayal that ranks With her very best. Needless to say, Gable provides an admirable companion for her adventures in a role paralleling the spontaneity and freshness of his part in "It Happened One Night." "Love on the Run." deals with an American heiress in Europe on a pleasure trip, whose millions are cordially desired in exchange for a shoddy title. When she discovers the facts in the case the wedding is called off. At that point Gable enters the scene as a newspaper correspondent on the trail of a cable dispatch. To avoid complications the girl agrees to dodge her almost in-laws by joining Gahle in a stolen plane. He is not a good pilot, but they get off, and in doing so Joan receives a huge bouquet of flowers thrust into her hand at the airport. In the air, they discover a note in the roses and from it learn that the owners of the plane are spies. The gift of roses was a case of mistaken identity, but it gives Gable a story to cable to his home paper. From that point on the story gathers speed and is never without action. A rival reporter enters the case and the'trio is chased all over Europe by spies until the proper exigencies enable them to turn the tables. The supporting cast includes Franchot Tone.
