AMUSEMENTS

King’s.—“ The Enchanted Cottage,” acclaimed in the United States as "one of tho most touching and beautiful love stories over brought to the screen,” is being screened at the King's Theatre, starring Dorothy McGuire. Robert Young, and Herbert Marshall. This U.K.0.-Radio film is a new version of a great stage success. Robert 5 oung plays the part of a crippled bomber pilot who, unable to endure the pity of his family and friends, returns to a lonely cottage in New England. The miracle that romance works is touchingly developed. Regent.—“ Women Aren’t Angels,” which heads the programme at the Regent,. was designed, produced and is to bo exhibited for ono purpose only—that of providing cinema goers with light wholesome but. enjoyable entertainment with the accent on humour. Starring Robertson Hare and Alfred Drayton, this film is British comedy at its bets and wittiest. Indeed, is reminiscent of "Rookery Kook” and “My Wife’s Family.”—not in theme, but in the spontaneous 'laughter it draws forth from patrons. The supports are headed by a “March of Time”, “Uncle Sam. Mariner.” Majestic.—Ronald Colman’s performance in “A Tale of Two Cities” is a fine characterisation of tho self-sacrificing young lawwer who goes to tho guillotine in Paris that others may live. Colman is well supported by a real Selznick cast, which includes such notable players as Elizabeth Allen, Edna Mav Oliver, Reginald Owen. Basil Bathbone, Blancho Yurkn, and Henry Walthall. It is only on rave occasions that tho screen brings us such a moving story as that Dickens told in “Tale of'Two Cities.” The associate feature is "Bullets for Rustlers,” starrim? C’—i-'es Ktarret*.
