THE REGENT.

“THE GHOST GOES WEST.”

Alexander Korda’s gay new romantic comedy “The Ghost Goes West,” will be shown again at the Regent Theatre to-day at 2.15 and 7.45 p.m. The brilliant Robert Donat, who rose to world fame overnight as “The Count of Monte Cristo” and recently scored in “The 39 Steps,” plays a dual role. He is seen both as Donald Glourie, an impoverished young Scottish Highlander who 'is forced, to sell his haunted ancestral castle to an American millionaire and also as the personable shade who strolls the castle halls. The story takes an hilarious turn when the millionaire, played by Eugene Pallette, dismantles and transports the castle to America and the ghost goes along. When the shade of his ancestor begins walking the transatlantic luxury liner, his marked resemblance to Donald gets the latter into some side-split-ting entanglements. But when his sweetheart Peggy, played by Jean Parker, begins mistaking the ghost for him, Donald realises the time for action has come. The story has a knockout surprise comedy ending. “The Ghost Goes West” marks the first English-speaking production to be directed by the famous French director, Rene Clair. Reserves at W. G. Perry’s, ’phone 2496.
