REGENT THEATRE— Commencing Tuesday: “Lady In a Jam.”

The Irene Dunne comedy “Lady in a Jam,” is an hour-and-a-half s laugh relxation. It’s about a daffy Manhattan heiress who can t distinguish between principle and interest. Consequently she spends her vast fortune without being aware of it.

Forced finally to' a realisation that she is broke she leaves New York and goes to Arizona to live with her fabouslv wealthy grandmother. Unfortunately the girl’s grandmother proves to be a female Death Valley Scotty who hasn’t a pot to cook with. She’s broke and she lives in a ghost town. There’s an abandoned gold mine (which hasn’t been worked m 40 years) and the ex-heiress starts to operate it on the beautiful notion that people should have faith and they’ll get what they want. Well, two men appear opposite Miss Dunne in the comedy. One is as dally as she. He’s Ralph Bellamy, playing a showofi. cowboy. The other is Patrie Knowles, playing a sober man of science trying to straighten the kinks out of her mind.

Paratroops fly 1500 miles to attack an airfield in Tunisia. 44 Douglas air transport planes land the paratroops and capture the field. Also Maryland Hunt Cup: 22 fences in thrilling 4-mile test.
