The Theatres

REGENT Two screenings to-day and Friday, and showing to-morrow night, "Gone to the Dogs" George Wallace. Lois Green, John Dobbie, John Fleeting, Alec Kelleway, Letty Craydon. Set against the exciting background of dog-racing, Cinesound's new comedy sensation, "Gone to the Dogs," starring the popular comedian, George Wallace, provides hilarious entertainment to banish the cares and worries of the present world conditions. Made for laughing purposes only. "Gone to the Dogs" is a veritable riot of comedy, and spectacular dance ensembles and song numbers punctuate the fun and add to the entertainment value of the production. Nothing funnier has ever been filmed than the "Haunted Home" sequence, in which George and Henry find themselves scrambling round a room which is apparently upside-down.
