AMUSEMENTS

Regent.—The Regent’s new attraction, “Always In My Heart," which commences to-day, bids 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 15-year-old Miss Warren has a delightful singing voice. "Always In My Heart” is a story of family loyalty, and more heart-gladdening, screen entertainment would be hard to find. Kay Francis and Walter Huston head the cast with Gloria Warren.
