ENTERTAINMENTS

OPERA HOUSE—Finally To-night: “Cabin in the Sky.” Friday: Seven Days’ Leave.”

Studded with catchy music, -torrid dances and unusual speciality numbers, “Seven Days’ Leave,” commencing at the Opera House tomorrow, is based on the unexpected consequences resulting from the terms of a freak will. Victor Mature and Lucille Ball are at the head of a cast of popular headliners -from stage, radio and screen. About to sail for a World War battle front, Mature finds himself heir to 100,000 dollars on condition that the marries a certain society girl, played by Miss Ball. Staked by his Army buddies, Mature launches an intensive campaign to win her consent, but all the plans are thrown overboard when the two young people discover that they really are in love. Before he can explain the circumstances, the girl learns of the inheritance and announces that she is going to marry another man. From there on the action is fast, furious and hilarious until the climax when the two are re-united through the efforts of the girl’s kid sister and the girl with whom Mature once believed himself in love.

REGENT THEATRE—FinaIIy Tonight: “Pride and Prejudice.” Friday: Ladies Courageous.”
