ENTERTAINMENTS

OPERA HOUSE The name of Grade Fields at the head of a cast is a guarantee of a treat. Filmgoers would be well advised not to miss the Lancashire comedienne’s latest merry comedy “Look Up and Laugh,” which comes to the Opera House to-night and Saturday. It is Grade at the top of her form. Grade’s pictures abound z in catchy music and “Look Up and Laugh” is no exception. There are several other excellent numbers destined to become real hits. One is “Love is Everywhere,” and another riotous number “I’m Annie from Anna Capriza.” The other essential ingredient of a Grade film is laughter. “Look Up and Laugh” is brilliant musical comedy entertainment that’s sheer delight. Aiding Grade in her joy-spreading is a wonderful comedy team headed by Harry Tate, Douglas Wakefield, Billy Nelson, Vivien Leigh and Tommy Fields.

REGENT THEATRE. To-night will see the last screening of the present popular double feature programme—Tom Walls, Ralph Lynn and Robertson Hare in “Stormy Weather,” and Anne Shirley, O. P. Heggie and Helen Westley in “Chasing Yesterday.” Both of these features have been very popular for their season. “CALL OF THE WILD.” This screen play is an adaptation of Jack London’s story of love and teachery during the Yukon gold rush and the colour of those feverish times has been transferred to the screen and is portrayed by a cast headed by Clark Gable, Loretta Young and Jack Oakie. Alaskan pioneers from as far north as the Arctic Circle came to take part in the picture, while Frank Conroy, Reginald Owen, Sidney Toler and Katherine de Mille carry prominent roles. The film introduces a new dog star in the role of “Buck,” perhaps the best-known canine hero in fiction. “Buck” is an 18-months old St. Bernard.
