REGENT THEATRE. TO-NIGHT AND FRIDAY, “GIRLS’ DORMITORY” AND “EMPTY HOLSTERS.” A dramatic revelation ol ecstatic iirst love to thrill you, a young, exciting new | personality to enchant you; and a darj ingly different emotional story to amaze you, are promised in ‘ Gills’ Dormitory,” Twentieth (cntury-Fox production opening to-night at, me Regent Theatie. Simone Simon, ma' es : her debut as the lovely young gill trap--1 ped by an ('motion she decs not utider--1 stand. Herbert .Marshall and Ruth 1 Chatterton are starred with Simone, and the east also features Constance Collier, J. Edward Bromberg, Dixie I Dunbar, John Qualen and Slnrtey I Deane. The story of “Gill’s Do rmitory • ! is concerned with an eiieliisivo finishing school attended only by the daughters of the very rich. Jn this schorl, the girls are taught everything < xei pt that which the rules forbid—life. The film is a dramatic, realistic portrayal ol a young gijl’s first love. Eager to live, yet half-afraid Simone at first whispeis of her love only to her heart but later, like a. woman, she fights for the happiness that only love can bring. “Empty Holsters,” as the title of a movie, would seem to mean that guns are already drawn and in use by the owners. And that’s exactly the case with the Warner Bros, western pibture of that name, which has its local premiere to-night at the Regent Theatre, with Dick Fornn, the Singing Cowboy it s star. There's plenty of bang-stuff in this story of the west, yet Dick Fornn still finds time to sing a couple of songs—“ Old Corral”' and"“l Gotta Gcf Back to mv Gal.” . f
