THE REGENT.

“FLIRTATION WALK.”

“Flirtation Walk,” which comes to the Regent Theatre to-day, is announced as a thrilling revelation in musical spectacles. There is an allstar cast headed by the inimitable songster, Dick Powell, charming Ruby Keeler playing the romantic, lead opposite him, and Pat O ’Brien in the role of a hard-boiled army sergeant. There are two great specialty numbers that are said to outdo anything ever presented before for originality and novelty. One is an authentic Hawaiian Love Feast with its traditional unique native dances performed by 60 Hawaiian beauties and as many men. Ageold| folk songs are sung to the rhythmic beat of guord drums in a setting of a moonlit coeoanut grove and a rippling lagoon. • Dick also sings a Hawaiian number to the accompaniment of Sol Hoopii’s famous, native orchestra. The second big specialty is the presentation. of West Point’s Hundredth Night Play by members of the cast in which, there are more beautiful girls. In this number Powell sings three catchy original songs by the famous song team of Allie Wrubel and Mort Dixon. These include 4 4 Mr. and Mrs. is the Name,” the title song, 44Flirtation Walk,” and 44 N0 Horse, No Wife, No Moustache.” The story is a romance of glorious youth and is filled with thrilling adventure and dramatic situations.
