THE REGENT

3 “LIVE, LOVE AND LEARN.” j Life in fabled Greenwich Village. . with much of its love and no little of ’’ its learning, is packed in the new comedy romance, “Live, Love and Learn,” which will be shown tonight at the Regent Theatre. With Robert Montgomery and Rosalind Russell in the starring roles, supported by an excellent cast, the story is mirthful, logical and extremely well joresented. The narrative describes Montgomery as Bob Graham, a happy-go-lucky artist of the Village patterned much after the traditional type, who goes up to Connecticut to capture sylvan still life on his canvas. A fox hunt disturbs him at work, but Julie, a lovely girl who tumbles off her horse virtually into his lap is even more disturbing. Their temperamental argument serves as a grand introduction and their temperamental natures do the rest. They fall in love. Julie flings her social life aside and goes to live with her artistic husband in a north-light garret studio not five minutes from Sheridan Square. Complications come at once, as might be expected. A taste of tragedy enters when Bob fails in his work after Julie has left him. Robert Benchley, the noted humourist and actor, has a prominent role and adds immeasurably to the humour of the tale. Helen Vinson scores as the “other woman” and excellent supporting work is contributed by Mickey Rooney and Monty Woolley.
