AMUSEMENTS

REGENT THEATRE “Fast Workers” will be screened for the last time to-night. As the title suggests, it is a story of high building adventure. John Gilbert becomes “Gunner” Smith, a wielder of the trip-hammer. His throne js a precarious perch high up on the girders of a soaring steel skeleton. It is a part of a transition which has marked his recent screen roles. In “Way for a Sailor,” he was a roistering son of the sea, seeking adventure aboard a sailer. In “Gentlemen's Fate,” he started as a gentleman only to reverr to the calling of his father, whom he discovered to be a gangster. In his preceding picture, “Downstairs,” Gilbert wore the livery of a chauffeur. In “Fast Workers” Gilbert is the “buddy” of Robert Armstrong of “Is Znt So?” fame. Mae Clarke is the object of contention between this pair % of amorists, and there arc thrills added to the pathos and humor, when one attempts' to toss the other from, the top of a skyscraper. To-morrow, the special attraction, “Cvnara”’ will bo presented with Ronald Holman, Kay Frances and Phyllis Barry in the stellar roles. The box plans are rapidly filling. MAJESTIC THEATRE The enjoyable double-feature programme at the Majestic will receive its final screening to-night. “Hot Saturday” features Nancy Carroll, Cary Grant , and Randolph Scott in a humandramatic story of a girl who “walked home." It is the story of Ruth Brock, the most popular girl in town, who suddenly finds her whole world crashing down about her ears, because she has been seen to leave the car of a man the town has dubbed notorious. The second big feature is “The Broken Wing,” with adventures that makes one’s blood tingle, a romance that sets one’s heart aflame, and an exciting tale of a young aviator who crashes in a land of revolution and falls in love with the sweetheart of a lawless rebel leader. Melvyn Douglas is the airman, Lupe Velez is the Castilian sweetheart, and Leo Carrilo the bold but amusing bandit. To-morrow another two-feature programme, will be presented—‘‘Blind Spot,” a .British drama, and “Sailor Be Good.” a comedy drama, with Jack Oakie. and Vivienne Osborne.
