AMUSEMENTS

Kintr’s.—ln the realm of light entertainment the colourful revue and musical "Three Little Girls in Blue," coming to the King’s Theatre to-morrow, is attracting large audiences. This is the picture in which three charming and attractive girls tire of the old home town and its male limitations, and set out to dig for fortune and husbands on foreign soil. This leads them to Atlantic City, where these three lovelies, Juno Haver, Vivian Blane, and Vera Ellen, make an entry into one of these modern caravanserais, posing as wealthy holiday-makers. Regent.—“ The Conspirators" concludes at the Regent to-day. Heralded as one of the most unforgettable love stories of all times, “Magnificent Lady,” a Universal release, which opens at the Regent to-morrow, more than lives up to all claims. Ginger Rogers, starring in the role of the fabulous Dolly Madison, whose desires determined the destiny of a nation, gives a fine performance. David Niven, iB co-starred at that handsome, evil genius, the traitor, Aaron Burr. Burgess Meredith is the kindly James Madison. Majestic.—To-day’s programme is headed bv “Rhythm Serenade," starring that favourite English song-bird, Vera Lynn. The added attraction for the evening sessions is an exciting and amusing drama, “Midnight Manhunt.” starring William Gargan and Ann Savage. This programme will conclude to-morrow, and "The Corn is Green” will commence on Saturday evening at 7.45. A special children's programme for the Young New Zealanders’ Club will be screened on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Repertory Society.—At 35 years of age Terence Rattigan is a bachelor with a most saUsfactory income. Perhaps he has had no time over to seek him out a wife, for certainly his pen has been busy during the past 12 years. He is undoubtedly Britain’s No. 1 playwright to-day. His “While the Sun Shines” has been selected by the Gisborne Repertory Society for its next production, and no pains are being spared to do justice to the theme so brilliantly developed by the author. A season of two nights—the two race nights—will be played, and a particularly strong cast is in rehearsal.
