AMUSEMENTS

REGENT THEATRE ■ The glorious voice of Richard Tauber should alone ’be sufficient to draw crowds to the Regent Theatre, where the great tenor’s musical romance, “End of the Rainbow,” is now screening. But add to tin* voice beautiful settings of scenes in the Bavarian Alps, and in Berlin, splendid acting, and a simple drama that welds the picture into tvell-balanced unity, and the result is a great achievement. Although the dialogue is all in German, there is never the slightest difficulty in following tho story. Tauber sings all manner of songs. The supporting -programme includes a nature study, “The liattlß of life.”

“When Ladies Meet” is a sparkling special production which commences tomorrow. Ann Harding and Robert Montgomery are co-starred in the film version of tho Rachel Brothers stago

“hit,” and Alice Brady makes her return to tho screen in a featured role. Miss Harding is the philosophical wife of a philandering husband, and Montgomery is the young newspaperman who finds his own romance growing to front-page proportions. Miss Brady is a merry widow whose constant fear is being right about doing wrong. The picture affords Myrna Loy the best opportunity of hei career as the girl-novelist who tries- to live tho daring life she fashions for her heroine, Frank Morgan is the publisher who invariably strays from the marital path, only to ! find it circles right back to homo.* It is delightful screen fare.

MAJESTIC THEATRE. Joviality and fun of a type which one does not expect anywhere but in a flint is presented in “For the Love of Mike,” which concludes to-night. As a picture of high-spirited jollity it leaves nothing to lie desired. There is never a dull moment. One of the cleverest and funniest sequences consists of several hectic minutes in which not a single word is spoken. There is a determined scramble for possession of a certain vase, with Bobby Howes, Arthur Riscoe, HakGordon, and llareourt Brooke participating in tradition scrum formation. The vase is “heeled” ail right, lmt a moment later the orchestra leads the antagonists into a cleverly eccentric, Apache dance. The con,fie personality of Bobby Howes fills practically every scene. Tho supporting programme includes two Pathe Pictorials, which have the appeal ol variety in son", scene and incident.

To-morrow three long features will bo screened, Tim McCoy.in, “Two-Fisted Taw,” has been transferred from the 1 logout arid will he shown with “Called Back” and “Medicine Man,” presenting a programme which for quantity 'and quality has never been equalled at the Majestic.
