ENTERTAINMENTS

REGENT THEATRE. AGAIN TO-NIGHT. “LOVE IN A BUNGALOW.” Romantic comedy flits in the dooi and laughter floats out the windows of the Cupid managed menage in Universal’s “Love in a Bungalow,” now at the Regent Theatre, featuring Nan Grey and Kent Taylor in the roles of modern sweethearts. Nan Grey portrays a girl who is hostess in a model heme, which has been designed to help to sell other houses. She cares for the home with natural feminine delight. This interest grows to the point where she wants to possess the place for herself. It’s springtime. The home making instinct finally burns in her like a flame. Then a young gal- - lant enters her life. Romance springs up between her and Kent Taylor. The comedy is woven around the love spats between them, and the unusual method that the pair use to obtain funds for purchasing the house. Other players who help get them into laughable situations and out of hilarious predicaments include Jack Smart, Richard Carle, Hobert Cavanagh, Minerva Urecal, Margaret (Pixillated) MeWade and Louise Severs. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. “THE SONG OF THE FORGE.” “The Song of the Forge” is a true to nature study, told in the story of the English countryside from 190 G to the present day, showing changes that have come from the development of the motor industry. The musical theme is based on the immortal song,. “The Village Blacksmith,” and the principal character, Stanley Holloway, gives a remarkable study of the blacksmith himself. The opening of the picture is that of the typical English country village as it would appeal about the year 1906, before the coming of the petrol stations and other indications of the advent of the motor car. As an added attraction the management presents “Variety Parade,” music, song and story. You are advised to see “Variety Parade,” for you will soon be humming or whistling* “Let’s Stroll Around the Park” and the many other delightful numbers in this great entertainment picture. AT THE EMPIRE. COMMENCING TO-NIGHT. “ALL IN.” “ ‘All In’ means a laugh and so does Ralph Lynn, and in this rollicking

picture you get full measure.” That is the comment of the film critic in London Daily Sketch when referring to “All In” the star attraction at the Local Empire Theatre to-night, and again on Thursday and Friday. There are heaps of amusing situations and Ralph Lynn is marvellously good, for throughout the picture he exploits his own brand of humour with happy results. With him in the cast are Claude Dampier, Gina Malo and JackBarty, making ag clever and entertaining a quartette as could be got together for any film. Add to them the “all-in wrestlers,” Jack Pye, Jan Gotch, Bob Gregory, Roughhouse King Curtis. Mike Sullivan, and Leo Wax, and you have material for an “All In” comedy that is sure to he popular locally.
