AMUSEMENTS

Opera House Finally To-night: “MY LITTLE CHICKADEE” and “THE FALL OF BARDIA.” Next Attraction (Commences Tomorrow, Wednesday): “20,000 MEN A YEAR” and “THE MAN THEY COULD NOT HANG.” “20,000 MEN A YEAR.” The greatest, aviation exploit .of our day—the intensive civilian pilot training programme of the Civil Aeronautical Authority—inspired the thrilling Cosmopolitan production for 20th Century-Fox, “20,000 Men A Year,” .which commences at the Opera House to-morrow, Wednes-’ day, with Randolph Scott, Preston Foster and Mary Healy in top roles. Drama, thrills, romance and comedy are deftly welded into this exciting story of the thousands of college lads who are faking t.o the skies, and of the men who train them. A grand supporting cast is headed by Mary Healy, Robert Shaw, George l Ernest, Jane Darwell, Kane Richmond and Maxie Rosenbloom. “THE MAN THEY COULD NOT HANG.” Weird.. Horrifying.. Fascinating ..only Karloff, th e king of horror, could play this terror-packed role! Back from the grav e for retribut/m comes a doctor turned demon, burning with a hate so strong that even the gallows ar e powerless before the might of his bloodlust! Seeking vengeance against all the world yet able to love one girl! A story of revenge so terrible it defies even the grave as a murderous monster seeks to destroy the men who condemned him to die! Karloff dares you to see his greatest spectacle or horror, “The Man They Could Not Hang,” which commences at the Opera House tomorrow (Wednesday) with Lorna Gray, Robert Wilcox and Rodger Pryor in featured roles. ; ilj.il

Regent Now Showing: “DAY-TIME WIFE” Gay comedy and romantic revelry are the keynotes of “Daytime Wife,” 20th Century-Fox picture, with Tyrone Power and Linda Darnell: costarred. The film presents Tyrone in the light, care-free roles in which he excels and the selection of darkeyed and lovely Linda to play opposite him is a genuine sensation. It marks her second screen appearance, but her performance in her debut in “Hotel For Women” well justifies the choice. The story tells of the hilariously romantic carry-ings-on of a husband who , goes whistling under the wrong balcony (his secretary’s) and a perfect peach of a wife who rests on her oars (but not for long!). Featured in the cast are Warren William, Einple Barnes. Wendy Barrie and Joan Davis. Patrons are urged to make reservations, ’phone 601.
