AMUSEMENTS

REGENT THEATRE “LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY. ’• One of the stories best-loved by the novel-reading public—Frances Hodgson Burnett’s “Little Lord Fauntleroy”— has come to the screen in modern form with Freddie Bartholomew in the title role, along with Dolores Costello Barrymore. Nearly everyone has read the book; quite a few will remember the silent version. Both were released many years ago, and those who enjoyed tho old picture will appreciate the modern version which includes in its east Mickey Rooney, C. Aubrey Smith, Guy Kibbee, Henry Stephenson, Una O’Connor. COSY THEATRE "THE MUSIC GOES ROUND.” Tho newest form of jazz—swing rhythm—and one of the most intriguing popular numbers that have come to radio and danee bands, is featured in “The Music Goes Round,” the new Columbia musical that is being screened at the Cosy Theatre. It is what the Americans call a “natural” in talkie entertainment. That is to say, it is a front-ranking picture that has brought crowded houses wherever it showed. The cast is headed with Harry Richman and Rochelle Hudson, and includes some of America’s best musical-comedy stars. STATE THEATRE “THE LADY CONSENTS.” How thoroughly has this modern life destroyed man’s age-old primitive instinct to battle for love. The answer is to be found in “The Lady Consents”, the comedy-drama now being screened at the State Theatre, where Ann Harding, in a role new to her, is co-starred with Herbert Marshall. The picture gives Miss Harding full scope for powerful drama and witty, sophisticated comedy that marked her success in “Holiday” and “The Animal Kingdom.” To-morrow will be shown “The Tunnel” featuring Richard Dix, Madge Evans, Leslie' Banks, Helen Vinson and George Arliss. The theme of this fine film is the construction of a tunnel under the Atlantic between Britain and America.
