MAJESTIC THEATRE.

If you’ve kept an ear to the movie ground, you’ll know that one of the funniest stories ever written for films screens at the Majestic Theatre when Paramount presents its hilarious comedy, ‘The Major and the Minor” to-day. The picture, which co-stars Ginger Rogers and Ray Milland, is reputed to be a riot of laughs and unusual situations, all of which stem from Ginger's masquerade as a 12. year-old so she can get from New York to her lowa home by train on half-fare. Milland, a major who teaches at a military academy, becomes embarrassingly involved when he helps her eldde the suspicious conductors by taking her into his own compartment His gullible acceptance of Ginger's fantastic stories—the romantic complications that develop when his fiancee discovers Ginger in his berth and it becomes necessary for him to take Ginger to the academy to prove that she is really only a "minor”—all add up to one of the grandest comedies ever.
