AMUSEMENTS

Regent.—Heralded as one of the most unforgettable love stories of all times, '‘Magnificent Lady,” a Universal release, which opens at the Regent to-day, 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 nerformance. David Niven, is 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 J.ynn. The added attraction is an exciting and amusing drama, "Midnight Manhunt,” starring William Gargan and Ann Savage. “The Corn is Green” will commence tomorrow 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. King’s.—ln the realm of light entertainment the colourful revue and musical “Three Little Girls in Blue,’’ which began at the King's Theatre to-day, 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, June Haver. Vivian Blane, and Vera Ellen, make an entry into one of these modern caravanserais, posing as wealthy holiday-makers. Repertory Play.—Service types of all kinds go to make up the cast of Terence Rattigan’s “While the Sun Shines.” Army, navy, air Force, American servicemen and Free French arc all there —and with astonishing results. Rattignn’s clever pen has never been put to better purpose than in the construction of this rollicking comedy. The Gisborne Repertory Society has selected a strong cast to handle the play and a sparkling entertainment is assured for the two-night season, May 3 and 5, at Uie Opera House,
