Varieties at Majestic and State: film versus vaudeville
Sam Woolford reviews The Varieties of 1947 at the Majestic as a revival of real actors with the Slate Brothers Lucienne and Ashour and Betty Jane Smith delivering dance and song. He notes a ghost cycle on screen and praises a new camera technique in Lady in the Lake at the Ashee with Robert Montgomery and Audrey Totter. The program also includes a Western adventure with Johnny Mack Brown and Raymond Hatten and the Simon Lash mystery Accomplice with Richard Arlen and Veda Ann Borg, plus war footage from Indo China and Palestine.
