As far as the Slate is concerned, the case was closed with the conviction of the fiance of the D.A. s own niece. That’s where the missus steps in. She is very • close to her niece and, since her intuition tells her the guilty one is still at large, she takes the matter into her own hands.
REGENT THEATRE—FinaIIy Tonight: Andy Hardy’s Double Life.” Tuesday: “Yes, Madam/'
It’s the sort of thing that happens in films, but such things add to one’s enjoyment of life, and such films ns “Yes Madam,”’ which commences at the Regent Theatre on Tuesday, do the same.
Starring Bobby Howes and Diana Churchill, the film will give much amusement in retrospect when they try to remember what incident made them laugh most. Bill and Sally are heirs of a legacy which they inherit only if they succeed in keeping jobs as domestic servants for a month. Should they be sacked Tony inherits the money. Bill burgles at his master’s instructions and almost loses Sally’s affection. Tony almost succeeds in getting them both fired, but the clock and a clause of the will save them. Wylie Watson and Bertha Belmore as the newly rich employers of Bill and Sally; Fred Emney as Sir Charles Drake-Drake, suggested as a relation to Donald Duck, and Vera Pearce as a robust stage star all combine to make one of the most amusing pictures, seen for many a long day.
