REGENT THEATRE.
In "Desire," now showing at the Regent Theatre, Marlene Dietrich will again win the approval o£ picturegoers with her fine performance under the direction, of Frank Borzage. Miss Dietrich has now "come down to earth," and is. a human being with a real sensd oC humour. Gary Cooper as a young American on vacation in Spain also .scores a big success. The story opens in Paris with a cleverly executed jewel raid, and the flight of "he adventuress Dietrich to the Spanish -border. On the wav a mishap occurs' as a. result of which the lovely jewelthief is-forced to part company with the stolen property. The young American .helps the escapee and is unable'to escape himself. The story • moves to an amusing and exciting climax. The stars are supported by an able cast, including Joan Halliday, Alan Mowbray, William Frawley, y and Ernest Cossart. The excellent supporting programme includes a "short" of particular interest to a Wellington public. It is "Make-up Magic." by Mr.' Clement May, and shows him. as a master cf theatrical disguise.-'
