MAYFAIR THEATRE
The tropical magic of the South Sea Islands will be brought to the screen of the Mayfair Theatre to-day in Paramount’s “ Rainbow Island," a technicolor extravaganza starring Eddie Bracken, Dorothy Lamour and Gil Lamb. A carefree picture about three ship-wrecked sailors, the picture supplies comedy, laughter, and hula girls in abundance. The sailors escape from the Japanese in a stolen plane and land on Rainbow Island, where they narrowly escape becoming victims of a headchopping ceremony, but are saved because
of Bracken’s resemblance to the Idol god Momo. Thereafter the natives shower hospitality on the supposedly heaven-sent visitors The supporting picture is a gay new Flanagan and Allen musical film, " Dreaming.”
