REGENT THEATRE

“I LIVE FOR LOVE.” Dolores Del Rio, the exotic Latin beauty, with Everett Marshall, famous radio, musical comedy and operatic star, concludes at the Regent Theatre to-day, in the new Warner Bros, comedy romance with music, “I Live for Love.” The picture is heralded as one of the most unique productions of the day. Catchy original songs were written for the picture, and all sung by Everett Marshall On the same programme “Boulder Dam” is the vibrant story of a shirker who finds himself through loye. Besides Ross Alexander the cast includes Patricia Ellis, Lyle Talbot, Henry O'Neill, Eddie Acuff, Egon Brecher, and scores of others. Frank McDonald directed the picture. “History is Made at Night.” “History is Made at Night,” commencing to-morrow at the Regent Theatre, has everything that makes for stirring drama and first-class entertainment. As Paul, the rubane, efficient head-waiter of the popular Parisian cafe, Charles Boyer excels his usual high standard. Playing opposite him as the wife of a strangely jealous and half-insane shipping magnate, Jean Arthur is no less appealing than she was as “Calamity Jane” in “The Plainsman,’ but is a vastly different personality. A really brilliant character portrayed is that of Colin Clive as Vail, the shipping magnate. A fourth actor who, despite the excellence of the others, almost steals the show, is Leo Carillo, an old favourite, who is cast as Paul's henchman, the world’s greatest chef. American Troubadour to Play for Regent The Regent is pleased to announce that Mr. George Pistorius, the picturesque American troubadour, “Ole Joe the Fiddler,” master of the violin, who is touring the globe, will appear at the theatre to-morrow, Monday and Tuesday. Mr. Pistorius, who arrived in Wanganui at the beginning of the week, is making a study of the different types of music in the world. He has made careful research into Polynesian harmony, having spent a year and a-half in Hawaii, a year in Tahiti and the South Seas. After collecting all the data possible on Maori music in New Zealand he intends to go to Australia, and particularly the Northerh Territory. Eventually he expects to spend some years in the Orient, where he is going to undertake the formidable task of mastering the peculiar music of the East. After that to England and Europe to visit the great centres of learning—London, Paris, Budapest, Vienna, Petrograd, Berlin, and so on; after which it is his hope that some day he will be able to compile a book on these studies.
