AMUSEMENTS

THE REGENT. "THE MAX FROM YESTERDAY.” How long should a woman remain true to a man after that man lias gone out of her life? Claudette Colbert answers this question in ‘ ‘ The Man From Yesterday,’’ which conies to the Regent Theatre to-day, when it will be shown at matinee and evening performances. A : •war romance in Paris results in a iwliirlwind marriage for a nurse named Sylvia iSugol'k (Miss Colbert) and Captain Tony Clyde (Clive Brook). Clyde is sliell-shocked and incorrectly reported dead. As time goes on, the nurse falls in love with a surgeon named Gaudin (Charles Boyer). Years pass before Clyde and the nurse find each other. Clyde is still madly in love with his wife, but she is torn between her duty to this practically unknown man and her desire for happiness with -Gaudin. Most of the action of the picture takes place in af-ter-the-war Paris, and the story is unusual in that Brook, although playing the leading male role, is entirely absent from the middle sequences of the drama. Charles Boyer, playing the important “other man” role, is the European stage favourite, making his American screen debut in “The Man From Yesterday.” The solution of her problem by the girl who married in haste provides strong and gripping interest in what is described as a highly dramatic and emotional, play.

COSY THEATRE. “THE DARK HORSE.” “The Dark Horse” is to be shown finally at the Cosy Theatre to-night. Reserves at Yare's, ’phone 1333. ‘ ‘ WEEK-iEX DS ONLY. ’ ’ 'Something new in entertainment is offered screen patrons in Joan Bennett’s latest Fox Films vehicle “WeekEnds Only,” which comes to the Cosy Theatre to-morrow night. It is the story of a society debutante who. suddenly finds herseif fatherless and penniless. In dire need of a job, she secures a novel one through the kindly offices of her former butler and blossoms out as a “week-end girl,’’’ paid handsomely by bored hosts and hostesses to supervise and entertain guests at week-end functions. The job, in turn, leads to the somewhat embarrassing attentions of a millionaire who engages her services for the season, on “week-ends only,” in the hope of eventually persuading her to accept his proposals of love. Meanwhile the girl lias-fallen in love with an ambitious young art student, living in the same Greenwich Tillage apartment house. The result of this conflict is said to come to an exciting climax that balances the gay comedy of the earlier scenes. Miss Bennett, who proved her mirth-making abilities in her recent “Careless Lady,” is said to score notably as the distracted heroine, while Ben Lyon as the artist and John Halliday as the millionaire head the supporting cast.
