ENTERTAINMENTS

OPERA HOUSE—Finally To-night: “Boston Blackie Goes Hollywood” & “A Man’s World.” Friday: “Million Dollar Baby” & “Who is Hope Schuyler?”

Hailed as the most heart-warming story of this, or any other,year, with Priscilla Lane and Jeffrey Lynn, and Ronald Reagan heading the cast “Million Dollar Baby’' commencing at the Opera House to-morrow, chronicles the adventures of a hardworking young girl who suddenly falls heir to a million dollars. What it does to her life —romantically and otherwise--and how eventually she wins a million dollars worth of happiness, makes “Million Dollar Baby” a completely absorbing story. Set to keep mystery lovers laughing while they nervously chew their nails, the dramatic, action-packed murder mystery, “Who is Hope Schuyler?" commencing to-morrow is enacted by a cast headed by Mary Howard, Joseph Allen, Junr., and Sheila Ryan and Richard Cortez. The background of “Who Is Hope Schuyler?" is the court-room where special prosecutor Joseph Allen, Junr., finds his whole case falling apart due to his inability to produce the “mystery woman of the year,” Hope Schuyler. The court gives the special prosecutor only 48 hours , to unearth this witness, and in this short time the film moves swiftly—an assistant of Alien’s is killed, an airport burns, destroying important clues, and an attempt is made on the life of the prosecutor himself.

REGENT THEATRE—FinaIIy Tonight: “A Yang in Dutch.” Friday: “Sergeant York.” A now mile-post in film entertainment will be passed this Friday at the Regent Theatre, with “Sergeant York,” a gripping, thrilling graphically and dramatically breathtaking saga of human courage and daring

that is the more amazing _ because every bit of it is true. Starring Gary Cooper, in his greatest screen triumph, the story is at once both simple and exciting, because it shows both sides of the lives of the Tennessee, U.S.A, mountain folk —their slow, easy-going manner —and the force of power they can bring out when their tempers are aroused. York,a sharp-shooting farmer who “gets religion” in his own manner, is a fellow who hates no one and registers as a Conscientious Objector when he is drafted during the World War. An understanding officer in his company, played by Stanley Ridges, shows him that sometimes violence is necessary to ensure freedom. York turns out to be not only a good soldier, but one of the bravest of heroes. The Management confidently recommends this outstanding production.
