AMUSEMENTS

Majestic.—To-day’s programme presents the outstanding British romnntic and dramatic musical “Lisbon Story,” which is a spy story, a murder mystery and a lilting musical all m one. The singing stars are Patricia Burke, England’s musical comedy favourite, and Richard Tauber. The dramatic stars are David Farrar and Walter Rilla, and many of England's top-ranking entertainers. Sessions commence at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. King’B—A screen concert on a magnificent scale, “Carnegie Hall,” which screens tooday,. presents 16 world-famous artists, including Lily Pons, Jascha Heifetz, Walter Damrosch, Rise Stevens, Bruno Walter, Artur Rodzinski, Jan Peerce, Artur Rubinstein, Ezio Pinza, Vaughn Monroe, Gregor Piatigorsky, Fritz Reiner, Leopold Stokowski and Harry James. Produced on a big, dignified and impressive scale, the music is interwoven with a story which, although Bimple, has sufficient elements of sincerity and human conflict to hold interest. Moving slowly at first, it gains momentum and resolveß dramatically. Regent.—As full of good cheer as the Yuletide itselg, Warners’ new comedy, “Indiscretion,” which is now showing. is an early and decidedly welcome harbinger of that most joyous holiday season. With an expert company of funmakers headed by Barbara Stanwyck. Dennis Morgan and Sydney Greenstreet, the film tells the gay and delightfully merry tale of a serviceman’s precipitous Christmas week-end as house guest of a most unusual group of people gathered together at a farmhouse for the express purpose of perpetrating an enormous hoax. It makes an unexpectedly engaging package of filmfare.
