MAJESTIC CINEMA. “HAITINBSS AHEAD.’’ There is something new in motion pictures aud it was staged iu the First National production, “ Happiness Ahead, ” which comes to the Majestic Theatre to-morrow. It is an Oriental revue, done by a troupe of the fastest and wildest Chinese tap dancers. whose jazz number arc so furi-ously-paced that hereafter Harlem will be singing “That’s Why Chinese Were Born.” The set used for this unusual act is an elaborate Chop Huey Parlor. In this atmosphere of dance rhythms and Uhovv Mein, Dick Powell 'meets Josephine Hutchinson and love blossoms in the shadows of lantern-lit pagadas. 'l'he picture is a rollicking romance with strong dramatic interest, and catchy songs by Wrubel and Dixon, and Fain and Kahal. Alervyn Leßoy directed the production from the screen play by Harry Sauber and Brian Marlow, based on Sauber’s original story. POLITICAL ADDRES; Tho Hon. J. G.
