MAJESTIC THEATRE

“PARIS HONEYMOON" Love among the roses —the roses which provide the mythical kingdom of “Pushtainick” with its chief bid to fame —keynotes Paramount's new Bing Crosby comedy, "Paris Honey’moon,” opening to-day at the Majestic Theatre, jjairest flower of all in “Pushtalnick" is lovely Franciska Gaal —and Bing suddenly finds it out. But he can't do anything about it because he's betrothed to Shirley Ross, a gay divorcee. And then there's Auim Tamiroff, who also mants to marry Franciska. But love, as it generally does—finds a way, to the accompaniment of some of the highest comedy seen on -the screen this season, and four new hit tunes“ You’re a Sweet Little Headache," "I Have Eyes,” “The i Funny Old Hills" and “Joobalai," all I delivered in expert and workmanlike • fashion by the great Bing himself. “The Citadel." “The Citadel,” dramatically powerful story of a young doctor who barters his ideas for world riches, is to commence on Friday at the Majestic Theatre. Superb portrayals are given by Robert Donat and Rosalind Russell in the principal roles. A dramatic love story is unfolded in the account of the young surgeon who | struggles among the miners and I marries a humble school mistress. There is agonising suspense when he | descends into a mine that has collapsed, to amputate the arm of a man trapped beneath a fallen timber. There is drama when he deliberately dynamites a sewer that has been spreading disease but which authorities refuse to move. The moving story has become even more dramatic on the screen, without an alteration, but because of the added power of visible action.
