MAJESTIC THEATRE

“GOOD GIRLS GO TO PARIS” | The mere teaming of Melvyn Doug- i las and Joan Blondell is an assurance' of a sprightly comedy, and those who i go to the Majestic Theatre to-day to' see them in “Good Girls Go To Paris" ( will not be disappointed. The; story is light, the humour of j the bright and sparkling type, and I lie i two principals are at their best. Joan i is a pretty waitress at a tearoom ’ frequented by undergraduates and; Melvyn Douglas is an English ex-! change professor who has enough time ' to be concerned about her ideas of!, how she can get to Paris. She be-! lieves that even good girls go to i Paris, with the help of a little “gold- ! I digging,” but finds that she is to;);: good to follow the scheme through and ; only gets into trouble and has to leave . the college. A series of amusing in- 1 cidents places Joan in the house of a , millionaire whose granddaughter j Douglas is to marry. From then on she is kept very busy straightening ou._ I, the family affairs, keeping everyone else out of trouble and getting into | plenty of trouble herself. The fact is l the professor’s fiancee is in love with | the butler’s son, and the operations of | a gambler who wants money from th j millionaire's grandson do not make! life any easier for her. Walter Con-j nolly, as the millionaire, takes hi;- i part very well and adds much to the I, fun of the film.
