AMUSEMENTS

Regent.—“ She Wouldn’t Say Yes” is the new attraction at the Regent today and it stars Rosalind Russell and Lee Bowman, with Adele Jergens and Charles Winninger also contributing to the goodly measure of fun. It is gay, light and relaxing entertainment, lo round off a first-rate programme are a number of attractive featurettes, including the N.Z. Government film unit’s splendid documentary, “The Change Over,” which shows the transition of the air force pilots to civil aviation. Majestic.—To those in search of good fun, the recommendation is to see “The Wistful Widow of Wagon Gap.” This is the latest giggling medium provided for lovers of the farcical by Bud Abbot and Lou Costello. In this case these two jugglers with logic are assisted by the rampageous, wisecracking Marjorie Main, who was such a hit as Ma Kettle in “The Egg and I.” The comedy is preceded by an hour of enjoyable featurettes. Seats may be reserved at the Regent box office. King’s.—lntolerance, one of the greatest menaces to national unity, is boldly dramatised in RKO Radio’s gripping offering,

“Crossfire,” which will head the programme tomorrow. Robert Young, Robert . Mitchum and Robert Ryan are starred in this film of post-war Washington. Young has the role of a brilliant detective who finds a motive for the senseless murder of an ex-serviceman. A young man’s groundless fears if impending death lead to merry events in RKO Radio’s romantic comedy, “A Likely Story,” starring Bill Williams and Barbara Hale.
