i = J « 5 <& FANFARE - t^^33m**'% weekly column of - l^^^iT^ goesip on outstand- _ v i ing new films. c ——■■ • Tj^EW more convincing battle scenes * ■*■ have been -witnessed than the con- * diet between the pfciny English fleet and r the Gieat Armada iv "Fire Over Eng- | laud." These sea sequences are frei quently made with the assistance of models in an aitificiaJ ocean, but Erich Pommer has cmplfoyed a large number of full-sized vessels feuyl secured a truly coii\incing effect. *F^re Over England" is in its first N,Z.| release, and -is enjoying - verj heavj business. *-J # * " T AUGHING? CHARLES" is the nick- -*-^ name given Charles Boyer after c the-New York! premi&re of-"History is Made at Nighjt," -which, is the Regents - next attraction. * Boyer has generally been staired tin i the heavy type-of role, but as Paul J Dumo.nd, a Parisian head waiter, he hate an opportunity .to show a blight and hoippy characterisation. By tho waj, Leo Cajnllo (reqietaiber him in Gay Desperado') iis really screamingly funny Tas Oesare th« Italian chef. <- I * * * Few filmsi have such a varied~assortment of entertainment* as "Histoiy is Made at Night." There is a cop.ous *suppl> of verj^ clever humour, a spot of vil--1 lain j, an Miituguing romance, and an amazing climax that provides a vividly 1 lealistic ocean disaster inspired by the sinking ofi the Titanic in 1012. Jean Aithui dfoes gre.iter deeds than 'Mrs. Deeds," and Colin Clive occupies the othi>r collier of thp tuangle, but in spite ot his villainy it's a bright show and gient ciitritainment. • | TfRROTj FLYNN and Anita Louise'will ■^ be .'seen shoitlv at thel Regent in 1 "&ieen, Light," a stoiy by the same anthoi as "Miigmhcent Obsession," and ' like thait 'bodk, it is largely a storj of 1 medical life. Tho title, preen Light," " applies, the metaphor of our everj day * tiafiic, signals to the piogress of human life At times the led light blmks a 1 -warning, and everything comes Uo a fu'l ' stop, but soon the green light flashes to ' show that tho war is clear again and that we can move foi ward to fulfil our l destinj. * # » "Tlhe Green Light" is as absoibing and > inspiring as "Magnificent Obsession," ahd just as well acted. # # <* T7"AY FRANCIS has two leading-men ■LV- ni "Stolen Holiday." Claude Rains, who was 'The Invisible Man" and more recently the Spanish grandee of "Anthony Adverse," gives a magnificent performance as the suave swindler who gets the hcioitte in his clutches, and lan Hunter is most oharminglj British as the diplomat who takes her out of them Thifc delightful old actress, Alison Skipworth, is also prominent. An revoir until, next week, Yours jot enlertainmen "THE MAN IN THE STALLS."
