enjoy The whole family will Laurel and Hardy's latest feature- length comedy, #Fra Diavolo" which is showing to-day at the Majestic Theatre, for it is a picture which bears not only the stamp of in- dividual inimitable humour which these two beloved comics are noted for, but which has been suppiled with a highly colourful musical background. Laid in a picturesque era of nobility, courtly ladies and highway bandits, the plot gives the Laurel and Hardy every opportun- lly, to make delectable fools of themselves and to become involved in a series of side-splitting adven- tures which almost leads them to the gallows.

The picture is also benefited by an excellent supporting cast, which features the well-known stage star. Dennis King. who sings a number, of rollicking ballads and proves himself equally expert at dramatic work in the dual role of Diavolo and the Marquis de San Marco.
