AMUSEMENTS

Majestic.—lf the film public wish to see Bette Davis at the top of her form, they cannot do better than see “The Corn Is Green," at the Majestic Theatre. "The Corn Is Green” is a good screen play. It has proved to be a success on the legitimate stage m England, and Bette Davis is ideally suited to the role of Miss Moflitt, the purposeful lady who is determined to bring education to the people of a forgotten Welsh mining village, whose lives revolve round the pit, the "pub,” and the chapel. King’s.—ln the realm of light entertainment the colourful revue and musical "Three Little Girls in Blue,” which began at the King’s yesterday, 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 Blanc, and Vera Ellen, make an entry into one of these modern caravanserais, posing as wealthy holiday-makers. Regent.—Heralded ns one o'f the most unforgettable love stories of all times, "Magnificent Lady,” a Universal release, which opened at the Regent yesterday, 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, is co-starred at that handsome, evil genius, the traitor, Aaron Burr. Burgess Meredith is the kindly James Madison.
