“DETECTIVES” Bright and amusing entertainment is provided in the current programme at tho Majestic Theatre. It is a programme with many attractions, the chief of which is “Detectives.” Karl Dane and George K. Arthur, the inimitable comedy team, have the leading roles.

Every “straight” thrill Is thus anticlimaxed in a comical episode when the heroes of “Rookies” make an enDane plays a hotel detective and Arthur a bellboy who wants to be a sleuth. Marceiine Day is the heroine, and Tenen Holtz. Polly Moran. Clarence Lyle. Koo Mai and others of note are in the cast. First on the supporting programme is “Tell It To the Judge.” This is an hilarious comedy, with Max Davidson. tho diminutive comedian. A Majestic news, with the latest interesting world news, and one of those amusing Aesop Fable cartoons. “Down on the Farm.” are on the supporting programme.
