REGENT THEATRE
MUSIC AND COMEDY In “Riding High,” which heads the new programme screened at the Regent Theatre yesterday. Paramount offers one of its merriest musicals to date, with six Hit Parade numbers—" You’re the Rainbow,” “Whistling in the Light,” "Injun Gal, Heap Hep,” “He Loved Me Till the All Clear Came,” "Get Your Man,” "Willie, the Wolf of the West,” and “I’m the Secretary to the Sultan.” Starring Dorothy Lamour, Dick Powell and Victor Moore, the picture is a riot of laughs, colour and gaiety, and should appeal strongly to all lovers of the lighter and brighter type of film. The action, and there is plenty of it, including a hilarious wagon race, takes place in Arizona on a ranch belonging to Cass Daley. Victor Moore is seen as a lovable counterfeiter who involves Dick Powell in his tussle with the law as represented by Sheriff Gil Lamb. Dorothy plays an ex-burlesque queen who entertains at the ranch and her romance with Powell is light and gay, like the film itself. The box plans are at the Theatre and the D.I.C.
