MAJESTIC THEATRE
“Dive Bomber” will be the main feature at the Majestic Theatre to-day. There’s something thrilling in the air, and Warner Bros, have dramatised it, photographed it in wonderlully natural Technicolour, and served it up under the title of “Dive Bomber,” with two of the screen’s most dashing heroes, Errol Flynn and Fred MacMurray for its co-stars. Made with the co-operation of the United States Navy. "Dive Bomber” is the most gloriously exciting air drama the screen has yet given us. The superpilots who fly uncle Sam’s superplanes, the dive-bombers, are the neroes of this epic of the skyways, and theirs is a thrill-a-second drama. The tremendously high altitude, the terrific rate of speed at which they descend upon tneir targets makes dive-bombing the most hazardous type of flying, 'the main theme of the story is the work being done by the flight surgeons to lessen the physical hazards to the dive-bomber pilots. Max Steiner's musical score is brilliant. Just as the Navy's dive bombers fill the sky with America's glory, the picture "Dive Bomber” fills the screen with thrills.
