LAST SHOWING TO-NIGHT OF “GOOD NEWS,” THE COMEDY SPECIAL. There is not the slightest doubt that “Good News,” the comedy special which opened at the Majestic last night, and is finally showing to-night, ranks amongst the very best yet submitted to Feilding audiences. “Good News” hits the public taste right at the onset, and there is never a moment throughout the screening where interest flags. It is a snappy up-to-the-minute comedy and reproduces word for word the dialogue of the original New York stages success. No better cast could have been secured. Bessie Love achieves the best work of her career in talkies. Gus Shy, a very fine comedian from the original cast, works in conjunction "with Miss Love. • Stan ley Smith ,thc handsome hero, Mary Lawlor, his sweetheart, attend to the heart-interest of the story in pleasing fashion, whilst Cliff Edwards must rank as one of the star hits of the show, his ukulele items being very fiuo indeed. An oat standing success is scored by Dorothy McNulty and it is safe to say that as an acrobatic dancer her equal has not been seen in New Zealand, whilst the contortionist dancer who assists her is amazing. A second star featuretto is the clever Charlie Chase comedy entitled, “Dizzy Dollars.” “The Cocoanuts” Special Show Night Attraction Commences To-morrow.
