AMUSEMENTS

King’s.—There is a definite period charm about "The Magic Bow," the British picture now at the King’s Theatre. This is in brief the story so far ns is known of the outstanding episodes in the life of the great Paganini, the finest violinist the world has ever known, and renowned composer of difficult music for his instrument. To some people the most remarkable feature of this fascinating film is the shadow violin playing of Stewart Granger. The real performer is Yehudi Menuhin. Regent.—“ Cheyenne” concludes at the Regent today. Warner Bros.’ new romantic drama. "The Man I Love." starring Ida Lupino, Robert Alda, Andrea King and Bruce Bennett, commences tomorrow and filmgoers will want more—much more—of the new Ida Lupino! Unquestionably one of Hollywood’s most talented dramatic actresses, Miss Lupino, through a stroke of inspired casting, now acquits herself as a young lady gifted with a most unusual singing voice and an entrancing song delivery. Majestic.—Red Skelton provides a feast of laughter in the M.G.M.'s new comedy. "The Show-Off.” He gives a lecture on how to wash a baby. He gives a demonstration of how to drive a car. He does a snappy rhumba, plays a piano and sings, and his quiz programme is a comedy high-light. Others in the cast are Marilyn Maxwell, Marjorie Main, Virginia O'Brien and "Rochester.” The featurettes include a Pete Smith novelty and a ‘‘Crime Does Not Pay” short.
