“I LIKE IT THAT WAY.”

Musical Romance Coming to Regent. “ Lady For a Day,” starring May Robson, will be shown finally to-mor-row night at the Regent Theatre. The new programme at the Regent Theatre on Saturday will be headed by the sparkling musical romance “ I Like It That Way.” The outstanding cast includes Roger Pryor, the singing star of “ Moonlight and Pretzels,” Gloria Stuart, Marian Marsh, Noel Madison, Onslow Stevens, Lucille Gleason, Merna Kennedy, Eddie Gribbon and Mickey M'Guire. Dramatic human interest is contrasted with topical comedy, which is succeeded by the thrill, glamour and excitement of gamblingnight club sequences, all of which establish the basis for the emotional finale. Never for a moment is *the story proper forgotten in this picture. On the contrary, it is the motivating theme and moves along very fast. It tells of a high-pressure insurance salesman who tries to sell love on the instalment plan. Conrad, Gottler and Mitchell, famed New York song-writing team, provided the picture with such song hits as “I Like It That Way,” “ Miss 1934,” sung by Gloria Stuart in the glittering Deauville Club atmosphere, and “ Let’s Put Two and Two Together,” introduced by Shirley Grey at a “ whoopee ” party in her apartment. The supports will include “ How to Break 90,” the first of Bobby Jones’s new golf series. Box plans at the D.I.C.
