MARCH AND COLBERT TOGETHER AGAIN IN FILM ROMANCE

‘ ‘ To-niglit Is Ours, ’ ’ screen adaptation of a play by Noel Coward, who authored 4 ‘Cavalcade,” is to screen for a season at the Regent from November 29. Frcdric March, winner of the award of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the best screen performance of 1932, and Claudette Colbert, dark-eyed film beauty, starring roles.

‘‘ To-night Is Ours” is the second successive film in which March and Miss Colbert co-star. They played together in Cecil B. DoMille’s spectacle of pagan Borne, "The Sign of the Cross.” It is March’s first role, however, since he won the Academy award, the most distinguished honour which the movie industry can pay one of its members. His work in “Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde” brought him the honour. "To-night Is Ours” tolls the romance between Miss Colbert, cast as a young woman who has tossed aside the responsibilities of a kingdom for a fling in Paris, and March, a wealthy young Parisian who insists on sharing the fling.

Alison Skip worth, of "The Sporting widow” and "Night after Bight fame, heads the supporting cast. Arthur Byron and Paul Cavanaugh have leading roles.
