ENTERTAINMENTS
OPERA HOUSE —To-night: “Birth of the Blues” and “Hello Annapolis.”
The star studded, happy musical mirthquake, “The Birth of the Blues” with Bing Crosby, Mary Martin, Brian Donlevy, Carolyn Lee and Rochester in leading roles and featuring Jack Teagarden and his orchestra is showing at the Opera House. This merry melange of laughter and music, and the boys who took jazz, out of the rut and put it in the groove contains such well-known song hits as “Wait Till the Sun Shines Nellie,” “St. Louis Blues,” “Melancholy Baby,” “Cuddle up a Little Closer,” “The Waiter and the Porter and the Upstairs Maid,” “Birth of the Blues,” “St. James Infirmary,” and “Down by the Old Mill Stream.”
“HELLO ANNAPOLIS”
Hit the deck with the middies as they rock the screen with thrills in “Hello Annapolis,” a thrilling story of Uncle Sam’s fighting Marines, starring Tom Brown and Jean Parker, showing at the Opera House.
REGENT THEATRE—To-night: “49th Parallel.” “49th Parallel” is a ipessage of irresistible power . . . never did astory more clearly reveal the message of democracy and the ultimate fate of dictators and the dictated. The title springs from the geography book. The 49th Parallel marks the boundary line between Canada and the U.S.A., the only undefended frontier in the world. The intensely dramatic story is a saga of high adventure, quietly emphasising the perfect understanding between the two great democracies —the United States of America and Canada. It shows what happens to six Nazi U-boat sailors marooned on the Canadian coast, their furtive, thieving, murderous dash across the Dominion in search of safe refuge in the then neutral U.S.A, and their' ultimate ends.
