ENTERTAINMENTS

OPERA HOUSE —To-night: “I Escaped from the Gestapo” and “Man from Cheyenne.” , A thrilling film which holds the at-I tention and interest of the audience throughout its length, to rip the mask of Hitler’s henchmen, expose their methods of horror and smash their plan of ruthless destruction, the breath-taking drama “I Escaped from the Gestapo” with Dean Jagger, Mary Brian and John Corradine in the leading role, is showing at the Opera House to-night. The picture approaches its climax in a swift rush of thrilling action, with the plotters attempting to carry out their destructive plans before they can be overtaken by the officers. “MAN FROM CHEYENNE” “Man from Cheyenne,” starring 1 Roy Rogers and featuring George (Gabby) Hayes, Lynne Carver, Sall? , Payne and Sons of the Pioneers, ■ is showing at the Opera House to- • night. Rogers,- who has been brought up by Gabby Hayes but separated for ten years, returns to find , that the ranchers are plagued by an epidemic of cattle rustling which is being carried on by a young heiress • who owns a neighbouring ranch, who ■ hates the West and wants to clean up 1 a pile of money in a short time. Into 1 this situation comes young Rogers, ' whose ideas of chivalry run into di-|; rect opposition with his sense of jus-’

1 tice when he realises that his former childhood playmate is the perpetrator of the ruthless rustling plot. REGENT THEATRE—To-night: “No Time for Love.” Ordinarily the title of a motion picture is pretty much of an arbitrary matter. It may or may not have anything appreciable to do with the story. But “No Time for Love” under which the latest Claudette Coll bert comedy is billed is different. It was lifted right out of the text. Claudette’s big heart interest in the film is Fred Mac Murray. However, she works as top photographer for the publisher of a pictorial magazine, played by Paul McGrath, Before Fred comes into her life she faintly encourages the publisher, who therefore considers himself engaged to her. When he attempts to press his suit Claudette tells him flatly that “she has no time for love this year.” Then Fred comes along and makes her eat her words. Mitchell Leisen directed the picture for Paramount, with Fred Kolmar acting as associate producer.
