ENTERTAINMENTS

OPERA HOUSE- To-niqht: "She’s My Lovely,” mid “Sunset m Wyumintj.” Flawless entertainment, enhanced bv the kind of music audiences always seem to like best, is showing at the Opera House to-night in the tuneful, breezy, romantic drama “She’s My Lovely,’’ co-starring Gloria Jean and Donald O’Connor, two oi Hollywood's most promising juvenile performers. Jane Frazee and Robei t Paige have ingratiating roles in the very plausible story which has to do with the adventures of a youthful concert star who wearies of it all and runs away. Gloria appears as the child-celebrity and her unforgettable voice is heard in several well-chosen selections, which include “Sempre Libre ” “Drink to Me Only,” “Believe’Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms," “ Vi'llanelle,'’ and many others.

“SUNSET IN WYOMING” Packed with action, adventure, and songs, Gene Autry hits a new high in rangeland entertainment, in his latest picture, “Sunset in Wyoming,” also showing at the Opera House, with Smiley Burnette, Maris Wrixon and George Cleveland in featured roles. REGENT THEATRE.—To-niqhtJ “Tiie Gold Rush.” The slightly older generation remembers Charlie Chaplin much as it remembers its youth. At the mention'of his magic name, the moustache, the derby, the cane and the baggy trousers—an unforgettable scene from a favourite picture brings a smile to the lips. Now the release of “The Gold Rush,” one of Charlie’s most brilliant comedies which is showing at the Regent Theatre on Friday, will be welcomed by a generation which will have a chance to judge for itself and to ponder the tributes showered upon Charlie’s head by the great and near-great. Charlie portrays a hard-luck prospector in the mad gold rush days of the Klondike. Chaplin wrote and directed the production, in which he is first and foremost the beloved little tramp who wears an air of romantic hunger—forever taking a pathetic stand against, the powers that be. The supporting players who are well known to the older generation include old favourites as Mark Swain. Georgia Hale and Tom Murray. There will be no matinee or evening pictures to-morrow (Saturday), owing to the Kiwi Concert Party’s visit.
