ENTERTAINMENTS

OPERA HOUSE—To-night: “A Gentleman at Heart” and “Come on Danger.” “A Gentleman at Heart” the sparkling romantic comedy, now showing at the Opera House, has a top notch cast headed by the frolicsome trio, Cesar Romero, Carole Landis and Milton Berle. Imagine, if you can, handsome Romero as a racetrack “bookie” finding culture in an art gallery! Or, beautiful Miss Landis giving Romero lessons in the art—of love! Or, screwball Berle playing with .‘genius’ for a hobby!

Texas Rangers are reputed never to have batted an eye when sent out from headquarters to bring dangerous killers to justice. But when a reputed > killer is a girl, and young and very attractive, the average Ranger would doubtless have faced his duty with considerable misgiving. That is the situation confronting Tim Holt, in his role of Jack Mason youthful Texas Ranger, in “Come On, Danger, at the Opera House. REGENT THEATRE—To-night: “We Were Dancing.” The brilliant comedy talents of Norma Shearer and Melvyn Douglas (are brought to the fore in “We Were Dancing.” The picture based on Noel

Coward’s stage play “To-night, at 8.30” is furnished with attractive backgrounds and an excellent all star cast includes Gail Patrick, Lee Bowman, Marjorie Main, Reginald Owen, Alan Mowbray, Florence Bates and Heather Thatcher. The story presents two attractive young people of noble birth, penniless 'in America, dependent .on their social charms for a living. Shearer is engaged to a rich lawyer, Lt \ Bowman, but throws him over wheh she meets Douglas. Society 1 'however, welcomes them less as a couple than it did singly as companions for extra guests. They pretend to be unmarried and meet in secret. Then the trouble starts. It’s a story full of fun and laughter and a show to be seen. '
