Tonight: “His Lordship Goes to Press” and “Behind the Mask.”
Amusingly told and pleasantly expanded by incidental glimpses of English rustic life, the gay romantic comedy, “His Lordship Goes to Press,” with June Clyde and Hugh Williams in leading roles, is showing at the Opera House tonight. Laid against the glorious and picturesque English countryside, the film deals with an English peer who poses as a yokel in order to teach a lesson to an American girl reporter who was sent to England to write a story on farming.
How an unknown daring defender of justice strikes from out of nowhere to spread terror among the lawless is thrillingly revealed in the suspense-packed comedy - drama, “Behind the Mask,” showing at the Opera House tonight, with Kane Richmond and Barbara Reed in the starring r01e5....
Regent Theatre Tonight: “The Shocking Miss Pilgrim” starring Betty Grable, Dick Haymes. Set in Boston in the 1870’s, the picture unfolds the amusing and hilarious story of the first “female typewriter,” or typist as she would be known today. When Betty Grable, armed with the first business college diploma, bursts upon the all-man world of the business office to blaze a way for the millions of girls who were to follow, the stage is set for a most delightful story. But lest it be thought that, with so fine a story, the film’s music runs in second place, it need only be noted that the score for “The Shocking Pilgrim” is made up of eleven previously unpublished songs by the late George Gershwin. Among the melodies are “For You, For Me, For Evermore,” “Changing My Tune,” “Aren’t You Kind of Glad We Did,” and “Waltzing is Better Sitting Down.”
