REGENT TdHEATRE.

•-'.'The Bride of Frankenstein," now showing at the Regent Theatre, begins where "Frankenstein" ended, and it contains all the eeriness, weirdness, and thrills any picture patron will want. When "Frankenstein" ended it was supposed that the monster had perished vi a mill fire, but he did not. So terrible have been the results of his creation that Baron Frankenstein vows to have nothing more to do with experiments of this nature, but circumstances arise which compel him to reverse his decision. As the monster Boris Karloff scores another triumph, and Colin Chve, Elsa Lanchester, and Ernest Thesiger are also splendidly cast. There is a fine supporting programme. "Look Up and Laugh." Who is the most popular woman star of today, Garbo, Dietrich, Claudette Colbert, Grace Moore, or Gracie Fields? says an English writer. In the aggregate the honour lies with Gracie Fields, every one of whose films has proved a box-office goldmine. Her last picture, "Sing As We Go," tempted over £350,000 from the pockets of filmgoers throughout the country. Exhibitors I have spoken to hailing from all parts of the British Isles are unanimous that Gracie has. proved the biggest attraction of all the women stars. In "Look Up and Laugh," which comes to the Regent Theatre on Friday, Gracie Fields, with polished skill, sings, dances, and "gags" her way through the picture like the great artist she is.
