REGENT

"GIRL CRAZY.'* Hilarious times mi a Western ranch with shrieking comedy and bright spectacle in almost bewildering succession, are the features of "Girl Crazv”, the main attraction at the Regent to-day. A sou of a, wealthy landowner, having lived too fast a life in the cities, is sent West to his father's ranch and there quickly proceeds to set new standards in this part of the country, "when men draw from the hip, and women drink it,” to quote a portion of the film’s snappy, dialogue. The ranch house is transformed to a cabaret and dancing saloon, to which corao Wheeler and Wool soy, and likewise, Mitzi Green, after various ridiculous roadside adventures, which keep the audience shrieking. Enter then a villain not to villainous, and a champion sheriff-shooter and his accomplice. who make tho official post ,« decidedly short-term one. How Wheeler becomes sheriff and contrives .-.till to live, give the play its brightest burlesque, rising to screaming heights when Woolsoy performs miracles by exercising .his... hypnotic powers, until ho unfortunately hypnotises himself in a mirror. The "Rhythm” scene, is as unusual a s it is remarkable. The' Regent/ lives up to its undoubted high standard for supporting programmes. Strange customs in tho island of Hayti are, weirdly pictured and vividly told, while there is- an excellent ' "Aesop’s ’ Fable”' cartoon treating of matrimonial affairs in Fro gland. Telephoned reserves should •be collected by 7.30 p.ip.
