GIRDLES THE EARTH WITH SUNSHINE.

BRITISH FILM DUE AT THE REGENT THEATRE.

Psychologists to-day realise more than ever before that to dispel the gloomy cloud of depression that overshadows the world at the present time, which affects not so much one’s financial point of view as one’s moral outlook on life, it is most necessary to supply the mind with bright, sparkling entertainment that is able to disperse one’s worries, even if only for a time. If there is anything on this earth which will accomplish what psychologists demand of it* it is most certainly the Ideal-Gainsborough talking picture production, “Sunshine Susie,” which will commence a “good humour” season at the Regent Theatre on Monday next. Bubbling over with spontaneous humour and an excellent story, which is judiciously interspersed throughout by the happiest tune of the year, “To-day I Feel So Happy,” as sung by Britain’s new personality star, Renate Muller, will have us all up on our toes wj.th the exultation of wanting to join in the chorus. Jack Hulbert, who occupies one of the stellar roles, is undoubtedly Britain’s prize comedian, but his terpsichorean talents do not stay here, for he is one of the most excellent and entertaining eccentric dancers in Britain. His comical capers and mirth-ful dialogue would undoubtedly steal the honours of the production were it not for the faultless portrayals rendered by Renate Muller and another film favourite, Owen Nares. The locale of the film is in Vienna, and many pleasant interludes are supplied by visits to their world famed beer gardens, when fun and frivolity are_ the order of the day —and night. One of the most pleasant, and very unusual highlights of the production is supplied by the “Typists’ Chorus,” a chorus composed of about seventy girls, who are, incidentally, all young and decidedly, beautiful, taps the chorus of the theme refrain on their machines. This unusual but not entirely unmusical way of presenting a song will set the feet of all the. Regent Theatre patrons taping. The director of the production was Victor Saville.
