ENTERTAINMENTS

. EVERYBODY’S THEATRE. 111 . ’ “RADIO PARADE” FINALLY. “Radio Parade,” the super British production which features fifty of the Empire’s finest radio celebrities will be finally screened at Everybody’s to-day at 2 and 8 p.m. Sparkling English comedy is provided in “Heads We Go,” which will be introduced to New. Plymouth audiences at Everybody’s to-morrow at 2 and 8 p.m. Constance Cummings, who has been seen in a number of American productions, is introduced as Betty Smith, a mannequin who falls in love with Toby Tyrrell, whom she believes to be a wealthy young man-about-town. When she learns that he is going to Deauville she decides to go there too, but on the trip across the channel she discovers that Toby is a ’ steward. In Deauville Betty poses as a noted screen actress and is invited to join a yachting party, but when she arrives she discovers that Toby is the host. The story takes a more serious turn when the publicity agent of the real actress turns up and threatens to hand Betty to the police. Miss Cummings’ frocking is well above the standard usually set by English studios. The supporting cast includes Frank Lawton, who. appeared in “Cavalcade,” Claude Hulbert, Binnie Barnes and Gus McNaughton. REGENT TO-NIGHT. “LAWYER MAN.” William Powell and Joan Blondell give the best performances of their careers in “Lawyer Man,” the peppy comedy drama which finally shows at the Regent Theatre to-night. Jean Harlow, who will be remembered for her brilliant acting in “Dinner At Eight,” “Red Dust,” “Hold Your Man” and other films,. gives another splendid performance in “Blonde Bombshell, which will be shown for the first time at The Regent to-morrow (Wednesday) night. The supporting cast has been carefully matched to the principal, and Miss Harlow is supported by Lee Tracy, who was responsible for such a compelling characterisation in “Dinner At Eight,” Frank Morgan, whose recent successes include “The ’Kiss Before the Mirror” and “Strange Interlude,” Una Merkel, of “Beauty for Sale,” and Pat O’Brien. INGLEWOOD TALKIES. - “THE LAST TRAIL.” The name of Zane Grey as author, testifies to the colourful drama that abounds in “The Last Trail,” the new. Fox romance to open at the Inglewood Theatre to-morrow. And the name of George O’Brien as star, is assurance of action, daring, and more action. There is something different in this picture as it depicts the. old West against the new East. It shows men of the outdoors clashing with a mob of gangsters, as racketeers forsake the beer racket for the cattle racket and come face to face with men who are as fearless as they are daring. Every moment is full of life as O’Brien meets a new kind of foe on the Western range. It has plenty of laughs with El Brendel and Mat McHugh taking care of the comedy. , And it has a fine romance as George O’Brien and Claire .Trevor fight side by side against the common enemy.
