REGENT THEATRE
The colourful activity of a Mediterranean city of Northern Africa forms the background of “Algiers,” Walter Wanger’s romantic melodrama starring Charles Boyer, screens finally at the Opera House to-day. “Irene.” “Irene,’ ’one of the most popular musical comedies of all time, comes to the screen at the Opera House tomorrow, in RKO Raciio’s film version with the lovely British star, Anna Neagle, in the title role and Ray Milland co-starred as a New York playboy who falls in love with the peppery heroine. Running for almost two years on Broadway, and having half a dozen road companies covering the nation at the time it made its appearance, “Irene” scored an unqualified hit with audiences the country over, and the picture promises to an even greater success. The four tunes that were featured on the stage, “Alice Blue Gown,” “Castle of Dreams,” “Irene,” and “There’s Something in the Air,” are stressed in the picture, and a brand new number by the same composers, “You’ve Got Me Out on a Limb,” is also woven into the offering.
