REGENT THEATRE

‘■l GIVE MY HEART.” Plenty of singing and a wealth of elaborate costuming are the principal ingredients of “I Give My Heart,” the picture now at the Regent Theatre. Featuring another newcomer to the screen, Gitta Alpar, this British Empire Films production tells the well-known i story of the Du Barry, a Paris milliner j whose remarkable sang froid combined with a singing voice essential for the ; part, make her the favourite of King j Louis of France. The popular Owen , Nares plays the part of King Louis. . The first-class supporting programme is headed by an out-of-the-ordinary film on streamlining as applied to a multi- i tude of things from a raindrop to a Schneider Sup seaplan. An up-to-the-minute set of newsreels includes more than one. glimpse of the liner Queen , Mary, and of the huge flying boats pioneering the regular trans-Pacific service. “Two For To-night.” A feast of music and gay comedy is promised Wanganui theatregoers by Saturday’s attraction at the Regent Theatre, ‘‘Two For To-night.” The two eminently successful principals of “ Missis \'pi, ” which will be remembered as something outstanding in musical films, Joan Bennett and Bing Crosby, again have the prominent roles. Crosby’s pleasing voice is by now well known and well liked as a result of countless entertaining musical films which he has made popular. “Two For To-night” has any amount of opportunities for his singing and on that i score should be of great appeal. Joan 1 Bennett in a romantic role is a further I guarantee of an enjoyable evening’s I entertainment. Mary Boland supplies her own type of humour and the late Thelma Todd and Lynn Overman also appear. Also on the programme is “Nevada.”
