ENTERTAINMENTS

♦ REGENT THEATRE. h There is more comedy than tension 0 in "One Night in Lisbon" at the Regent a Theatre, though there is a spy story, a There is plenty of light sophisticated JJ dialogue between Madeleine Carroll, as f, a wartime assistant in London to the l' Espionage Department, and Fred Mac- a murray, who this time is a Texan feel- o ; ing his way round a city of blackouts, ti There is plenty of action, and much v of the .fun is caused by the furious V rivalry" of the Texan and a young 2 naval commander for the heart of t Madeleine. Through a meeting in a t< shelter, the two leading characters fall o in love, and the courtship proceeds a amazingly rapidly. The way in which b the American ignores all British tradi- A tions is half the fun. Barriers mean 5 nothing to American enterprise, and strangely enough the reed duck-call on which the hero teaches his girl the love-talk of birds of the wild brings him into close friendship with her i office boss, also a wildfowl sportsman. Swept off her feet, the girl agrees to go to Lisbon with the American, and c there all sorts of complications set in. r A Sportlight, "Fishing Fever," heads the supporting programme. OPERA HOUSE.
