MAJESTIC THEATRE.
Musical Comedy.
"Honolulu," that enjoyable musical comeoy in which Eleanor Poweii, one of the finer novelty dancers in the world, plays the leading role, will begin a season at the Theatre Majestic on Friday. There is an irresistible air of gaiety about the whole production, and from the amazing art of Eleanor Powell to the clever clowning of Gracie Allen, every factor tends to accentuate the entertainment value of the film. The story tells how a famous screen actor changes place with a plantation owner who is his exact double, but immediately finds that his new status brings him more trouble than amusement, for his double's fiancee is determined to marry him straight away. His embarrassment, however, has its happy side, for it provides opportunity lor. as gay a series of adventures as have ever been put on the screen. This outstanding dual role is in the capable hands of Robert Young, and another fine comedy part is taken by George Burns.
