SHIRLEY AT THE REGENT.

You’d never know the old farm now —it's a streamlined Radio centre, with Shirley Temple on a happiness hook-up in the title role of “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm,” her best-of-all musical. The first star of the screen is supported, by her starriest cast, sunniest songs, swingicst dances and a hey-hey load of laughter in this new musicomcdy hit shows finally at the Regent to-night. When radio appears down by thp old mill stream it raises a bumper crop of song and fun, with Randolph Scott and Gloria Stuart united in glorious romance, Jack Haley and Slim Summerville making merry, and tap-king Bill Robinson and Shirley at tap-speed.’ Phyllis Brooks, Helen Wcstloy, The Raymond Scott Quintet, Alan Diuehart and J. Edward Bromberg also are featured, and when all is said and sung, could you ask for anything more? To the roster of romancing stars, dancing stars, comedy stars and singing stars are added six sunny new song hits, in addition to a medley, of Shirley’s famous hits of the past which she sings again. The new songs are ‘‘ An Old Straw Hat,’’ by Gordon and Revel; “Alone With You,’’ “Happy Ending,’’ and “Crackly Grain Flakes, ’’• by Pol-i lack and Mitchell; “Come and Get 1 Your Happiness,’’ by Pokrass andj Ycllen; and “Toy Trumpet,’’ with music by Raymond Scott and lyrics by Pollack and Mitchell. The supporting programme is of unusual merit.
