KAY FRANCIS AT REGENT.

IN "STREET OP WOMEN." Kay Francis, one of the screen's most compelling brunette stars, has never been more lovely nor more fascinating than in "Street of Women," her new production which will replace "On Our Selection" at the Regent to-morrow. This drama of modern skyscrapers, of the men who conceive and build them, and the women who inspire them, is an excellent vehicle for Miss Francis' beauty and dramatic ability. No one portrays better than she the young woman of 1932, talented and attractive, who makes a career for herself, only to find that success is only half of life, and the lesser half without love. As Natalie Upton, a celebrated modiste who, against ail her instincts and inclinations, finds herself the unwelcome side of a domestic triangle because of her love for Lawrence Baldwin, Miss Francis is in her element from start to finish. She gives a richly varied and deeply human portrayal, supported by a cast of players that is one of the ablest in any picture this season.

Allan Dinehart, as Larry, and Roland Young, as Link Gibson—the two men who are equally devoted to Natalie—are not only briiliant actors, but splendid foils for each other.
