REGENT THEATRE.

“MARRIED IN HOLLYWOOD.” TO-NIGHT (FRIDAY). D t “Married in Hollywood,” showing - at the Regent Theatre for the last time to-night (Friday), is a song laden t Fox Movietone all talking and singing - Viennese song romance with Oscar 1 Straus music that makes it come neare or .to' perfection than anything yet brought to the screen. Principal roles a are sung by J. Harold 'Murray and t Norma Terris. Walter Catlett, Irene a Palaety, Tom Patricola and Douglas t Gilmore support. The supporting short 1. subjects include a Fox and Paramount e News reel. e d “SHOOTING STRAIGHT.” L. SATURDAY AT 2.30 AND 8. t >- * ‘ Shooting Straight, ’’ a Radio Picv ture showing at the Regent Theatre i- to-morrow (Saturday) at 2.30 and 8, i- stars Richard Dix who is supported by !- an excellent cast including Mary Laws lor, Matthew Betz, George Cooper and f other popular featured players. l- ) The story possesses a wealth of actr ion. Dix as “Lucky Larry” Sheldon, i- the hard-boiled professional gambler, as usual, interprets his part excellently. He is called upon to put up some real e action in one scene where he engages in a rough-and-tumble, all-in fight with >, Matthew Betz 0 who plays the part of d Martin, a crook of the first water. A e more thrilling and exciting fight has not been portrayed in motion pictures. A big train wreck adds considerable Y thrill to the production, which possessi, es an interest-holding plot. There is e never a dull moment in the picture. One . gets wondering what will happen next. 2 The mounting, lighting and photox graphy are all excellent and the RCA - recording of the dialogue, etc., is rc- - markably good, and is a splendid exs ample of the rapid improvement that - has been made in this direction. x A selected variety of short sound sub- ) jects include comedies and interest . films. Intending patrons are advised 3 to book or be early.
