MAJESTIC THEATRE

“THREE WISE GUYS.” Bright humour is offered in “Three Wise Guys,” which is showing to-day at the Majestic Theatre. The story is not unfamiliar, Robert Young 'being the “playboy” son of a rich man and finding himself turned out to fend for himself with no working experience. It all begins in a train, but how is Robert to know that the beautiful form draped in a faint just belongs to an adventuress seeking the money he hasn’t earned? Unfortunately, the languishing lady is a little too human and falls in love with Robert, who, naturally enough, was on the spot when the fainting started. Betty Furness makes an admirable partner for Robert Young. Heading an excellcn '•upporting programme is a mm oi TTie sensational two and a-half rounds of the Louis-Sharkey light, in which the Detroit negro smashes his way back to prominence. “San Francisco.” Depicting with a vivid realism the terrors of the San Francisco earthquake of April, 1906, and the wave of sensuous pleasure-seeking that preceded it, “San Francisco” is to commence on Friday, at the Majestic Theatre. Three stars, Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, and Jeanette MacDonald, help to make it the success il ’ is, Gable as the swaggering night club proprietor in the notorious BarbaryCoast district, Tracy in, for him, an unusual role, that of an Irish priest of gentle yet commanding personality, and Miss MacDonald as a daughter of the parsonage come to the gay city to seek fame as an opera singer and drifting into the hectic atmosphere of the night club.
