OPERA HOUSE—To-night: “Night in New Orleans” and “Arizona Bound.”
New Orleans, city of colour and gaiety—the Mardi Gras city—is the scene of murder, mystery and mirth in “Night in New Orleans,” now showing at the Opera House. The story concerns the rivalry of Foster and Dekker, both of whom are on the New Orleans police force. Foster is implicated in the mysterious murder of a well-known playboy who had been the recipient of flaming love letters written by Foster’s wife, Patricia Morison, some years before their marriage.
Foster and Patricia go on a hurried hunt for the real murderer, and thereby hangs the exciting tale. Who the killer is remains a mystery until almost the end of the film. ARIZONA BOUND. “The Rough Riders,” three of the toughest, squarest and most dangerout daredevils that ever drew sixshooters to bring some western bad man to a well deserved end, make their debuts as a film team in “Arizona Bound” also showing at the Opera House. Individually “the Rough Riders” are Buck Jones, Tim McCoy, and Raymond Hatton. Resounding with the roar of six guns, the thunder of pounding hoofs, the clash of fighting, comes the first of a new series of bullet streaked adventures with the mightiest western combination of all time.
REGENT TH EATRE—“Lady in a Jam.”
The Irene Dunne comedy “Lady in a Jam,” is an hour-and-a-half’s laugh relaxation. 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 i'abously wealthy grandmother. Unfortunately the girl’s grandmother proves to be a female Death Valley Scottv 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 in 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 daffy as she. He s Ralph Bellamy, playing a showoff cowboy. The other is Patrie Knowles, playing a sober man of science trying to straighten the kinks out of her mind.
Excellent associate programme includes: “Thrills in the Deep,” “Ace in Hole,” cartoon, “Shuffle Rhythm (Musical), and latest Paramount News feature. 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.
