Something Different!

“AUDIOSCOPIKS” IS PROGRESSIVE

There threatens to be something more than ordinary laughter at the Regent theatre to-morrow when M-G-M’s ‘‘Audioscopiks ” are screened for the first time. Giving the illusion of a third dimension, the amazing novelty strikes an entirely new note in talking screen entertainment.

When a man pokes a stick into tho audience, it’s definite ,t° assert that every man jack will instinctively duck. When a drunk on the screen appears to squirt a soda siphon right into the auditorium, one can almost feel the splash. It is necessary to watch “Audioseopiks” through coloured glasses. These are supplied free by the management.

Jeeves, one of the funniest characters

in fiction, comes to tho screen for the

first time in “Thank You, Jeeves,” Twentieth Century-Fox picture based on P. G. Wodehouse’s hilarious “gentle-

man’s gent.” Arthur Treacher, who always convluses movie audiences with his “fawncy buttling,” plays the imperturbable Jeeves with Virginia Field as the “lady in distress, ” and David Niven as the amiable Bertie Wooster.

Dancing, the tiling Barbara Stanwyck loves most, has always been denied her in films. Now, in "Banjo On My Knee,” she is going to dance, and moreover dance with Buddy Ebsen, the clever eccentric and character dancer. Miss Stanwyck doesn’t need to be taught to dance even in the same numbers as Ebsen. At 35 she joined the Ziegfeld Follies chorus, later appearing in George White’s "Scandals.” Although she prefers screen to stage, she has never ceased to want to dance.
