CHARLTE MURRAY,; GEORGE SIDNEY, IN “FLYING ROMEOS”—COMEDY SPECIAL TO-NiGHT.

•The extravagant humor of Charlie Murray and George Sidney was never better exemplified than in “Flying. Romeos',” the comedy de luxe special which will be the main, feature at the Majestic Theatre to-night. It deals with, the latest fashion, tlie latest craze, that of aviation, }<nd, as the Americans would say, “and how.” With the difficult science of. aviation is combined the equally thrilling and uneertaih art of vamping the village widow, a lady of uncertain years and much embonpoint, wiio, upon admitting to a weakness for Colonel Charles Lindbergh, the. 'gentleman who piloted a monoplane across the Atlantic from America to Paris, was the instrument , responsible for sending Murray and-Sidney to a school for airmen, and thus precipitating them into a" life full of hazards and thrills. Murray and Sidney being, in this eomedv, barbers by profession ’ and inclination, find their adopted profession widely different from the one they just' left, and cause much merriment in the academy, not to mention the audiences, by mixing the two badly. But it is not until they get their pilots’ certificates that the fun really commences, for then they have things very much their own way, and ride rough-shod over all objectors or advisers -who would! assist them. Of course, a non-stop flight to Europe comes in, which the Romeos • lose, but in tlie adventure provide some uproarious comedy; the only record they set are long-stop- laughing records. The picture may be a sparkling satire on the aviation fever', and on “prize flights to outlandish places, but it is very funny. In addition a picked programme of supports'. Box plan at Tattersa'U and Bayly’s.
