MAJESTIC THEATRE

"MORE THAN A SECRETARY” The girl whose mother told her to look after her body because that was all she had was almost correctly assessed, for though she was a pretty and vivacious secretary she was almost devoid of common sense. Nevertheless she adds much to the merriment of “More Than a Secretary,” a film with comedy which is screening co-dny at the Majestic Theatre. The story concerns the romance of Jean Arthur and George Brent Jean is partner in the running of a secre- | larial school who sees her pupils ; making a success in life while she slaves at teaching. Across the way Is the editor of a health magazine, handsome, independent and a performer of calisthenics each morning. Jean becomes his secretary and then associate editor. To oblige a friend (whose wife is returning from Europe) the editor engages the senseless one as secretary. Then the excitement begins. While the editor is philandering with the secretary the associate editor turns out the magazine, and incidently doubles its circulation by giving it a more attractive dressing. Enraged by the appearance of an almost nude figure on the cover of the magazine the editor discharges his associate. The story does not end there; it develops quickly to a climax with much merriment and a touch of romance that make it highly entertaining. In support on the stage Miss Jean Reid and her pupils present ‘The Storybook Ball.” "Pennies from Heaven.” “Pennies from Heaven” commences to-morrow at the Majestic Theatre. ; Heading a popular east arc Madge ; Evans, little Edith Fellows, Donald Meek, and Louis Armstrong and his noted swing band. Popular songs such as “So Do I,” “Pennies from Heaven” "Let's Call a Heart a Heart,” "One Two, Button Your Shoe," and “Skeleton in the Closet” are heard. The theme concerns the hilarious escapades of a wandering troubadour, and the film is a riot of mirth and melody.
