REGENT '*The Young In Heart" starring Janet Gaynor and Douglas Fairbanks Jnr, David Selznick's latest triumph (you remember David Copperfield, 'Prisoner of Zenda,* 'A Star is Born' etc) presents the most distinguished of his long line of successes. Meet the Carleton family charming but ex-pensive to know. They bring you dashing romance, thrilling intrigue and hilarious comedy. Five great stars from this merry little family who consider the Riviera to be Coney Island with monocle, a place where the moon ! and stars come out of a slot machine. With fast-talking Pat O'Brien and Oomph-Girl Sheridan, the exotic Gale Page, heart-breaker John Payne and comical Frank McHugh i,j* the leading roles of "Devil en "wheels" spine-tingling drama of automobile racing is also screening. Hailed as one of the most exciting and romantic films ever* brought to the .screen. GRAND With Jane Withers and a band of Mexican outlaws headed by Leo Carrilio, restoring law and order to a small Arizona town, one can readily see that "The Arizona Wildcat" is everything they're saying it is: the best picture Jane Withers has ever made. Those who saw this Withers hit on Saturday are still talking about the sequence in which Jane rides through the night on horseback awakening members of the old 'El Gato' band (Carrillo had been the famous 'El Gato' years before) and warning them in a written message to "Be prepared! We ride again." Also on the programme is "The Fighting Gringo" starring George O'Brien. An exciting tale of adventure and gunplay in Southwest Texas of 60 years ago, not far from the Mexican border. This story of fast-moving action reveals O'Brien at his two-fisted, hard-riding best.
