ENTERTAINMENTS

OPERA HOUSE — To-night: “Always in My Heart.”

The new attraction al the Opera House, “Always in My Heart,” will bid fair to go down'in screen history, not only as a thoroughly delightful picture of family life, but also as the picture which introduced Gloria Warren to the film public. For a 15-year-old Miss Warren has a singing voice that is pure gold, and a completely captivating personality. Kay Francis, and Walter Huston head the cast with Gloria Warren, and Frankie Thomas, Patty Hale, Una O'Connor and Sidney Elackmer are featured. Borrah Mi'imevitch provides some tuneful interludes. . Huston, as the father, is, in jail, and at his insistence, his wife (played by Miss Francis), is divorced from him and his children believe him to be dead. A wealthy man is in love with her and anxious to marry her, and take care of her and the children. She can’t make up her mind, and seeks Huston’s advice. He tells her to accept, and hides from her the fact that he has been pardoned. Meanwhile, the son of the family (Frankie Thomas) is completely won over to the idea of having a stepfather, particularly after he is presented with a new car. The daughter, who has discovered that the “Professor” is really her father, and that he is leaving town that night, taking a boat to San Diego, decides to go with him. Finding that she has missed the boat, she takes her brother's speedboat to catch up with it.

REGENT THEATRE: Now showing: “What a Woman,” starring Rosalind Russell and Brian Aherne.

“What a Woman,” starring Rosalind Russell and Brian Aherne, is now showing at the Regent Theatre. The story concerns Carol Anisley (Miss Russell), an efficient artists' representative, who sets out to sell a movie company a new star to play the title role in “The Whirlwind,” the year’s best-seller as a novel, which she has just sold for a picture. Trailing her every step in Henry Pepper (Brian Aherne), a magazine interviewer, but who, in a humorous manner, works his way into her affections. She picks up a college professor (William Parker) to play the he-man in “The Whirlwind,”’ but he is very shy and not a very good actor. Under Pepper’s guileful ministrations, however, the shyness soon disappears and the he-man in the professor asserts itself. How the threesome solves its difficulties and untangles itself into the proper “twosome” is said to contain the merriest of situations. -
