Hollywood Comedy At The Regent
i -A chance to lake a poop behind the: | Hollywood scones—and enjoy a bright j i comedy at the same lime —is given Ho-1 j gent patrons in “Stand-In,” a film j | which opened its season last evening. I j For the uninitiated, it might be as j well to explain that officially a "stand- I ; in" is the description of the person j | whose studio job means taking the j I star's place while scenes are being! I lined up and lighted. I j The story deals with the efforts of a | .brilliant New York banker to save fori j the investors and the staff a picture! I corporation which is being ruined by | | extravagant expenditure of a foreign j ‘ director, who hopes: that he may force j ■ ’die company to sell out cheaply. I i How a "stand-in." plays an import- ; i ant part in assisting the banker to save ; I the company is a story that touches on j I many sides of stifdio life. It is a com- 1 ; edy with a story behind it. and one ; that will give Regent patrons a full; measure of entertainment value. Leslie Howard and Joan BlondelL head as handsome a rosier of players . I as ever flashed on a screen, including! ; Humphrey Bogart. Alan Mowbray.! i Marla Shelton. C, Henry Gordon and j Jack Carson. :
