AT THE PICTURES
Majestic: To-night, to-morrow and Wednesday, "The Man Who Came to Dinner.” Starting next Saturday, ‘‘The White Cliffs of Dover.” The current attraction is one of the most worth-while comedies audiences have seen for a long time. It is filled with rapid-fire dialogue that kept Saturday’s patrons chuckling all the while. Monty Woolley, Bette Davis and Ann Sheridan are the leading players in the cast. Starting next Saturday there will be “The White Cliffs of Dover.” from the well-known poem by Alice Duer Miller.* 1 State: Screening-to-night, “Miss London Ltd,” starring Arthur (big-hearted) Askey, Evelyn Dali, Anne Shelton and Richard Hearne. “Big-Hearted” Arthur’s role is that of head of an agency run to provide escorts for men from the Services on leave in London, but until Evelyn Dali turns up to show him how to run it he is not very successful. Evelyn puts new life into the concern by engaging really lovely girls to act as escorts instead of the old fashioned dowdies that Arthur had picked. Evelyn Dali and Anne Shelton share the vocal honours in “Miss London Ltd.” The catchy tunes were written by Man»ung Sherwin. ~
