FINE PROGRAMME AT REGENT.
In “Off to the Races,” their latest film, the happy scrappy Jones Family; as amusing and as human as your own neighbours, add further laurels to this popular comedy series. The fun really starts when Slim Summerville shows up with a mean-tempered little niece of seven, and a horse who seems to be all appetite, and the even tenor of the Jones life is thrown for a hilarious loss. Russell Gleason and Shirley Deane find their engagement prematurely announced, Mrs Jones finds that hay and oats have become the biggest items on her marketing bills, 'and Mr Jones finds himself unexpectedly tossed from a sulky. Despite all this. Slim, who has his eye on the big countryfair race, gets the family to back his chances. When Slim is unable to drive in a crucial heat, Mr Jones volunteers to drive Jerry B himself, and the most hilarious conclusion seen on the screen in some time, is the outcome.
The second half of the programme Is taken *up with “Girl in a Million,” the brillant comedy musicale featuring the queen of ice-skaters, Sonja Henie, which was held over for a further two days owing to its popularity last weekend.
