AMUSEMENTS

THE REGENT. “THE AFFAIRS OF CELLINI. ’’ Hollywood’s newest and most glamorous romantic team makes its debut in the persons of Constance Bennett and Fredric March in “The Affairs of Cellini,” the gay new 20th Century comedy, depicting the more colourful romantic escapades of the great artist and greater lover of 16th Century Florence, which United Artists bring to the Regent. In “The Affairs of Cellini,” March portrays the great Florentine goldsmith of the Renaissance, who was as famous for his amorous escapades as for his artistic genius. A hot-blooded adventurer who risked his neck countless times in the pursuit of his passions, Cellini is revived from the pages of his own amazingly candid tales of his life and loves —for both the stage play and Miss Meredytli’s screen adaptation are based on the famous lover’s celebrated Autobiography. Constance Bennett’s role is that of the Duchess of Florence, beautiful philandering wife of a ducal member of the De Medici. As the Duke, Frank Morgan re-enacts the role he created with marked success in the Broadway stage production. Reserves at Perry’s, ’phone 2496. COSY THEATRE. “THE GIRL FROM MISSOURI.” “The Girl from Missouri,” the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture which will be shown at the Cosy Theatre this evening, brings Jean Harlow back to the screen after a too-long absence, in which is described as one of the most entertaining pictures to come out of Hollywood in recent months. Miss Harlow is seen as Eadie Chapman, on the hunt for a millionaire husband, in a role that only Jean Harlow could handle. Lionel Barrymore plays the part of T. R. Paige,' a financial and political power, who tries to turn heaven and high water to prevent Eadie from marrying his son Tom. The sou’s role is taken care of by Franchot Tone, who was last seen with Miss Harlow iii “Blonde Bombshell.” Lewis Stone appears briefly as Cousins, millionaire bachelor, and Hale Hamilton enacts another playboy bachelor who crosses Miss Harlow’s trail. Patsy Kelly serves admirably as a foil for Miss Harlow in her role as Kitty, Jean’s showgirl pal. The story tells of Eadie Chapman’s hilarious battles to And a husband with money.
