AMUSEMENTS

MAJESTIC THEATRE Two excellent, pictures drew large audiences to the Majestic on Saturday Nancy Carroll gives a fine portrayal in the chief part of “Hot Saturday.'' Cary Grant and Randolph Scott, the former in the main romantic role and the latter in his first

“heavy” part, since lie started 1 1 is career in Hollywood, are the chief supporting players. “Hot Saturday” is a touching romantic drama dealing with a position which might, arise for any girl to-day. and for that reason alone should recommend itself to all classes of audience, The second feature is “The Broken Wing,” starring Leo Carrillo, Lnpo Velez, and Melvyn Douglas. It is a thrilling story of an adventurous young pilot who dares to make love to the sweetheart of a lawless revolutionary leader. He knows how to tly. She knows how to love. Blit there is more to it than just that! There is a rebel general who kills on sight (and his sight is very keen) a forgotten “wife.” a mysterious bandit, henchman, arid a twofisted “lather" who is not a father at ell. REGENT THEATRE In the new talkie, “Fast Workers.” John Gilbert dons the garb of a riveter, working high up on a skyscraper, with Robert Annstrong as iiis confederate. Together they risk their necks on a lofty scaffolding by day. and at night lead a sort of Flagg and Quirt existence dallying with the hearts of damsels. Mae Clarke, over whom Gilbert and Armstrong wage battle, plays the sort of woman met in speakeasies, for riveters, after all, are hardly the ones to lie found courting ill perfumed boudoirs. There is something whimsical in the very nice idea of teaming two characters like John Gilbert and Robert Armstrong. The one, elegant, suave, quick-witted; the other the slow moving and thinking lellov. In "East Workers” they time an agreement. Neither is In many without giving the other a chance at ihe girl. Bob Armstrong, with a marrying complex, is therefore being continually rescued by Gilbert. But when Boh holds out oil Jack, the complications o! the story arise. A strong supporting programme includes a comedy, a cartoon, and newsreels. The box plans are now open for Ronald Column in “Cviiara."
