REGENT THEATRE
“MONTE CARLO.” To have Jack Buchanan as the star of any film is to ensure its unqualified success; but to have Jeanette MacDonald as the excuse for healthy romance is to put the production righ't in the front. And that is why “Monte Carlo’ ’ commencing to-day at the Regent Theatre, is :# refreshing and completely satisfying as any musical comedy that has been screened. In a musical comedy one does not expect to find a plot of any great depth, and while “Monte Carlo’’ does not contain many elements of probability, the sequences’ give the stars numerous opportunities of displaying their vocal talent. In short, tho story is of a count, who, attracted by the beauty of a countess who has run away from her groom on the wedding poses as a hairdresser to further his acquaintance. His varying success is the basis for some hilarious adventures. The supporting programme includes one of the Screen Souvenirs series, a bouncing ball cartoon, Hollywood Snapshots, and a ne wsree 1.
