AMUSEMENTS

Opera House x Finally tonight: “Thoroughbreds.” Next Attraction, commencing tomorrow (Friday): "Always in My Heart.” "ALWAYS IN MY HEART.” The new attraction at the Opera House, “Always in My Heart,” commencing to-morrow (Friday), will bid fair to go down in screen history, not only as a thoroughly delightful picture of family life, but also as the picture which introduced Gloria Warren to the film public. For a 15-year-old Miss Warren has a singing voice that is pure gold, and a completely captivating personality. "Always in My Heart” is a story of family loyalty, and a more heart-glad-dening evening of screen entertainment would be hard to find. Kay Francis, Walter Huston head the cast with Gloria Warren, and Frankie Thomas, Patty Hale, Una O'Connor and Sidney Blackmer are featured. Borrah Minnevitch provides some tuneful interludes. Huston, as the father, is in jail, and at his insistence, his wife (played bv 'Miss Francis), is divorced from him and his children believe him to be dead. A wealthy man is in love with her and anxious to marry her, and take care of her and the children. She can’t, make up her mind, and seeks Huston’s advice. He tells her to accept, and hides from her the fact that he has been pardoned. Meanwhile, the son of the family (Frankie Thomas) is completely won over to the idea of having a stepfather, particularly after he is presented with a new car. Th o daughter, who has discovered that the "Professor” is really her father, and that, he is leaving town that nigiit, taking a boat, to San Diego, decides to go' with him. Finding that she has missed the boat, she lakes her brother’s speedboat to catch up with it. The father, however, is not on the boat, because he lias gone to the res- . cute of his son, who is involved in a | battle over the little Spanish girl he has taken out for the evening, then !he father and son learn that Golna is out in the speedboat alone. . lhey follow her. and arrive just in time to save her from disaster. When the night is over, the little family is firmly reunited. , Regent Theatre Now Showing: "This is the Army.” “This is the Army,” the army’s own musical show that was so great it had to be put on film for the whole world to see, commences at the Regent Theatre to-day. Written by Irving Berlin, and filmed in gorgeous technicolour, “This is the Army” is said to be _ the greatest vaudeville show of all time. To make the show possible, talent scouts covered the army camps from coast to coast of America, and found 350 boys accomplished in every phase of the show business. They put on a show that plaved to solid “Standing room only” for three months and filled theatres every time in the ensuing tour of twelve more cities. The original show, with the addition of a lavish cast of Hollywood stars, including George Murphy, Joan Leslie, Ronald Regan, George" Tobias, Alan Hale, Charles Butterworth and Kate Smith, ond radio stars Frances Langford and Gertrude Niesen now comes to the screen, giving everybody an opportunity of seeing and hearing the show that was “raved about” from one end of America to the other. The War Department lent Sergeant Joe Louis, heavyweight champion, for story purposes, and to head the production number, “What the well dressed man in Harlem will wear.”
