The associate feature is a rollicking comedy mystery, "The Missing Corpse." with Frank Jenks, J. Edward Bromberg and Isobel Randolph. The first chapter of the new serial, "The Phantom,” will open each session. It stars Tom Tyler, Jeanne Bates with Ace, the wonder dog, ns “Devil.” King’s.—“ The House on 92th Street,” starring William Eythe, Lloyd Nolan and Signe Hasso, heads the new programme today. Regent.—“ Over 21,” Columbia Pictures' adaptation of the Broadway stage hit of the same name, starring Irene Dunne, Alexander Knox and Charles Coburn, is now showing at the Regent Theatre. It is a picture to revel in. Never did a woman get into such hilarious mix-ups. Never was there such rare delight for the young in heart. Its 21 times funnier than the original. Irene Dunne has never been more brilliant in her comedy, nor more beautiful in her looks. Charles Coburn, of course, gives one of his magnificent interpretations of a crotchety ancient. But the comedy surprise of the piece is Alexander Knox. „ , i Opera House.—Maureen Iveany s annual entertainment in aid of the Hine Materoa Children’s Home. “Xmas Frolics Revue,” which was postponed from December owing to the infantile paralysis epidemic, will be presented nt the Opera House on Thursday, June 24, at 8 o’clock.
