MAJESTIC THEATRE. "A Woman's Face" concludes tonight at the Majestic Theatre. "Love Crazy," starring William Powell and Myrna Loy, opens tomorrow. '. . • ; ■ ! REGENT THEATRE. A cheerful comedy romance, with a background of the West in its boom days, "The, Lady from Cheyenne," whjch is, now showing at the Regent Theatre, is an amusing film which combines swift action with drama and laughter. Loretta Young and Robert Preston are the stars, with Edward Arnold and Gladys George also taking prominent parts. All the typical characters of the old frontier days appear in the film. j OPERA HOUSE. The presentation of "When Tomorrow Comes" at the Opera House brings Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer forward with more of that wealth of ability which makes their appeal! strong and popular. It is another of j John M. Stahl's productions and that recommendation is bac'- ; d by the unusual character of the.-•wry, in which, a love which springs . from peril caused by a hurricane leads to a very i difficult problem. REX THEATRE. "Melody and Moonlight" and "Cross Country Romance" are showing at the Rex Theatre. . j TIVOLI THEATRE. "Night Train to Munich," starring Rex Harrison and Margaret Lockwood, is showing at the Tivoli. Theatre. Laughter, thrills, and romance are ex-j cellently blended in the film, and those two inimitable comics of "The Lady Vanishes," Basil> Radford. and Naunton Wayne, will keep the audience happy from, their first scene. "Money and the Woman," starring Jeffrey Lynn' and Brenda Marshall, is the associate film. j

CITY AND SUBURBAN THEATRES

KING'S THEATRE. Bubbling over with the urge to go places and do things, an American sailor ashore is a hard man to keep pace with, judging by the exploits of, George Murphy in his latest picture. •'The Navy Steps Out," which is show-1 ing at the King's Theatre. Those who remember him as the mostly serious person in "Little Nellie Kelly" will get ( a big surprise and ,a bigger laugh at him as Coffee Pot. a sailorman who is geared in high all the'time. STATE THEATRE. "Lady Hamilton" and "Paradise for Two" conclude tonight 'at the State Theatre. "Dance Hall," starring Carol Landis and Cesar Romero, and an Edgar Wallace thriller, "The Case of the Frightened Lady," open tomorrow at the State Theatre. PLAZA THEATRE. The popular and, capable actress Ingrid Bergman returns to the screen in her finest role to date in "Adam Had Four Sons," which heads the bill at the Plaza Theatre. Her leading man is Warner Baxter, who acts right up to the high standard set by Miss Bergman, The theme of the film1 is a fight between two women to win the affections of a family of four men. The story is based on the novel 'Legacy" by Charles Bonner. . TUDOR THEATRE. "Major Barbara." Wendy Hiller and Rex Harrison; "The Honeymoon's Over," Stuart Erwin and Marjorie Weaver. '.: - PRINCESS THEATRE, "The Ghost Comes Home,!' Frank Morgan and Ann Rutherford; "The Indian Nation," Richard Dix and! Florence Rice.

ST. JAMES THEATRE. Topical in its' appeal because of its blend of humour with military life, "Caught in the Draft" has earned a second -week at the St. James Theatre. Rollicking Bob Hope is the hero, and Dorothy Lamour does not seem as out of place as one might think as a civilised heroine. There are first-class supports, including a late newsreel of President' Roosevelt. ' . ■ DE LUXE THEATRE. Both of the main features on the bill at the De Luxe Theatre are calculated to provide thrills and excitement sufficient to galvanise the most jaded of film fans. "Murder in Soho" is a crime story which, as a refreshing change, has an English setting. Thrills and adventures of a' different kind characterise "Men of the: Timberlands," the second" feature on the programme, and in this are starred Richard Arlen and Andy Devine.' PARAMOUNT THEATRE. A laugh-provoking■■' programme of unusual merit,is screening'at the Paramount Theatre in "Bringing: Up Baby" and "Band Wagon." Gary Grant and Katharine Hepburn are the stars of "Bringing Up Baby," which is aptly described as a domestic comedy with a difference. "Band Wagon" carries onthe hilarity with diminutive Arthur Askey at the peak of his. form as a front-rank comedian. and six-foot-two Richard ("Stinker") Murdoch as his foil. ' : ' . ROXY THEATRE.
