MAJESTIC THEATRE

“MR. LEMON OF ORANGE."

El Brendel needs no introduction to Gisborne theatre-goers, for after his wonderful'comedy work in. “Just Imagine,” the Swedish humorist became an established favorite. Equally popular in the realm, of larce is that vivacious and fascinating French comedienne, Fifi D’Orsay. The appearance of either pne of these, stars in a picture would bo regarded as sufficient to ensure uproarious hilarity, so that it will lie. easy to appreciate the .sparkling entertainment that 13 in store for patrons of the Majestic when they see “Mr. Lemon of Orange,) l ., ivhieh commences today. Both El Brendel and Fill D’Orsay. -,are at their funniest in this film that was specially written fdt' them. Brendel has tlie. role of the inoffensive Mr,, Lemon,,, a clerk in .a toy-shop; who; has the, misfortune• to bear ,a, remarkable resemblance ,to “Silent M’Gee,” the most dangerous gangster in the underworld. Tho fun begins when Lemon., accidentally flops into a gang war, and is bailed ■ as the big criminal. Fifi DlOrsay, a cabaret singer, whose brother has been -killed by M‘Gee, looks, upon his. int'rodnetfion into the proceedings •as nothing .short of providential, for she lias vowed all kinds ol vengeance against tlie gangster. Her attempts to lure. Brendel into, admitting. the crime, and his equally diWerting attempts to understand what the whole thing is about provide ” amusement that is too funny for description here. A full supporting programme will be presented tvith “Mr. Lemon of Orange.” The box: .-plans are at Tattersall and Bnyly’s. t
