MAJESTIC THEATRE

‘ TWENTY MILLION SWEETHEARTS.’’ In “20 Million Sweethearts,” showing ifinaljy to-night at the Majestic Theatre, patrons are treated to a feast of modern music as broadcast from America’s biggest radio stations. Pat O’Brien, an employee of a recognised broadcasting company, is sent out to sign on suitable artists, but finds his chief no longer has faith in him. With talk that would be a credit to any salesman he eventually arranges for a trial performance of Dick Powell, who he is sure will be a sensation—the chief is horrified at Pat’s selection and dismisses both. During a mood of despondency at the turn things had taken, Dick, casually sings “I’ll String Along With You.” This is overheard by Pat, who is now sure of future sue cess, but of course finds the task of letting the “hit” he broadcast more difficult than ever. Ginger Rogers saves the situation by staging a “fainting” scene. The trials and tribulations which face this trio before ultimate success is reached provide incidents and humour that make the picture one which is never dull. A splendid supporting programme is offered.
