ROMANTIC COMEDY

MIRTH AT MAJESTIC. “LOVE IN A BUNGALOW.” Romantic comedy flits in the door and laughter floats out the windows of the Cupid-maaagcd menage in Universal’s “Love in a Bungalow,” which opens at the Majestic Theatre on Saturday with Nan Grey and Kent Taylor in the roles of modern sweethearts. Beautiful blonde Nan Grey portrays the hostess of a model home and Kent Taylor is seen as a supei-sales-man out of a job. One morning when she comes to work, Nan finds Taylor comfortably reclining in the best bedroom of the model house. The young man is brazen, but has a breezy charm and a disarming wit. Nan finds 1 herself forgetting to be angry. In fact, she gets his breakfast. The two become fast friends and one evening, just as a lark, they enter a radio contest. Five thousand dollars is to be given to the young married couple writing the best letter telling why they consider themselves the world's happiest husband and wife. The fireworks begin when they are awarded first prize. Their letter had declared they were married and opssessed a house and two children. The prize donor arrives in person, to discover how happy they are. The climax of the film revolves about the attempts of the “happy couple” to get themselves out of their predicament. Nan Grey and Kent Taylor are ably supported by a cast which includes Richard Carle, Hobart Cavanaugh, Jack Smart, Minerva Urecal, Margaret McWade, and Louise Beavers. Directed by Ray McCarey, the picture is swiftly paced and possesses an appealing light quality which makes entertaining comedy. John Harkrider’s sets are outstanding. A complete model home, up-to-date in detail, will be a source of interest to home-build-ers.
