NEW ROMANTIC FILM.

"TO-NIGHT IS OURS" FOR REGENT. A product from the pen of Noel Coward, author of "Cavalcade," and staged under the Coward title of "The Queen Was in the Parlour," the new romance, "To-night is Ours," which opens at the Regent Theatre to-morrow, features Fredric March, winner of the award of the Academy of Motion-Picture Arts and Sciences for the best screen performance of 1932, and Claudette Colbert, dark-eyed film beauty.

"To-night Is Ours" is the second successive film in which March and Miss Colbert co-star. They played together in Cecil B. de Mille's spectacle of pagan Rome, "The Sign of the Cross." "To-night Is Ours" tells the romance between Miss Colbert, cast as a young woman who has tossed aside the responsibilities of a kingdom for a fling at Paris, and March, a wealthy young Parisian who insists on sharing the fling. Alison Skipworth, of "The Sporting Widow" and "Night After Night" fame, heads the supporting cast. Arthur Byron and Paul Cavanaugh have leading roles. The Regent will also present Mr. Knight Barnett in a series of new songs, together with an excellent supporting programme. "Hallelujah, I'm a Tramp," the A 1 Jolson film, will finish to-night.
