REGENT THEATRE
“REUNION IN FRANCE.” “Reunion in France” will be finally shown tonight. “WHISTLING IN DIXIE.” Tomorrow night M.G.M. will present one of the funniest pictures ever brought to the screen. The management announce that without a it is “a real scream.” The chief roles are taken by Red Skelton, Ann Rutherford, George Bancroft, Guy Kibbee, Diana Lewis and Peter Whitney. “Whistling in the Dark" shows a real crime buster who faints at the sound of the word murder. Red Skelton gives an outstanding performance in the picture. Red Skelton as “The Fox” of radio thriller fame, finds himself unwittingly mixed up in a near murder and a real treasure hunt in Georgia. Adding to the hilarity is the fact that he is allergic to the word “murder,” and suffers a spasm every time it is mentioned, but is caught up in as pretty a plot and eerie an atmosphere as could be devised. Much of the action, which is interspersed with typical Skelton gagging, takes place in a ruined fort, with a thrilling climax in an old powder magazine.
