“OUT CF THE SLUZ3.” “Out of the Blues” will commence at the Regent' on Tuesday next. The management of the Regent Theatre will have much pleasure in presenting the celebrated English comedian, Gene Gerrard, in hi 9 latest comedic offering, “Out of the Blue.” .Gene Gerrard gained unbounded popularity in Masterton recently with the uproarious “My Wife’s Family,” so that one and all will be eagerly looking forward to “Out of the Blues,” which is the screen adaptation of the long run West End comedy, “Little Tommy Tucker.” Associated with Gene Gerrard in this farcical entertainment is .Jessie Matthews, a charming young girl with a fascinatin gpersonality. In the British world of comedy and revue, it is an honour to be “leading lady” in a show of tho great producer Cochran, yet Miss Matthews achieved this distinction when only in her ’teens. At the London Pavilion she has delighted the hearts of audiences with her dancing and exceedingly attractive appearance.

“TEE CLEAN LOVE SCNG.” TO-NIGHT AT THE REGENT. Lawrence Tibbett,.whose golden voice delighted large audiences in “New Moon,” is here seen with Lupe Velez in a scene from “The Cuban Love Song,” a modern story, replete with drama, adventure, comedy and haunting music, in which Tibbett is seen as a marine. The story begins before the war, and comes down to present-day. To hear Tibbett sing “The Cuban Love Song” is to enjoy a real treat, while the haunting romance, tropic adventure, comedy and music are a sheer delight.

‘ < WATERLOO BRIDGE.’ ’ AT THE COSY THEATRE. “Waterloo Bridge” is tremendous in dramatic power! It is subtly alluring in its beauty and its infinite variety. It is heart breaking in its emotional appeal! It has a great love story, one of the most unusual in modern drama, between a girl who wanted desperately to love decently, when it was too late for her to deserve it, and a boy who knew all and still would surrender the world to his heart’s cry. These two young lovers caught iw love’s cross road on Waterloo Bridge in a tangle of love morals and war’s dire needs are Mae Clarke, who will bo remembered in “Front Page,” and Kent Douglass, fine, boyish stage juvenile and coming screen star. James Whale directed it, and that alone should be an insurance of a perfect production if you saw his “Journey’s End.” Don’t miss “Waterloo Bridge” at the Cosy to-morr-ow. It’s a picture not to be forgotten quickly.
