The Theatres

REGENT Twice to-day and to-morrow, Dodge City, Errol Flynn, Olivia De Havilland, Ann Sheridan, Alan Hale Bruce Cabot, Frank McHugh, and a cast of thousands! In the SouthWestern part of Kansas some 67 years ago, far-seeing Santa Fe railroad operations laid out the community destined to become Dodge City. From the four corners of the earth men came to this "wide open Babylon of the West." Behind them came the flotsam and jetsam of civilisation to reap only the gold that lay within easy reach. Lawlessness ran riot ;:nd Dodge City became a mel-ting pot of adventurers, settlers and gunmen—a city which caused it to be said: "West of Chicago, there's no law, west of Dodge City, no God." Into- this maelstrom rides a devil-may-care figure bent on taming the wildest town in the West. This character is played by Errol Flynn, living the mightiest adventure of his colourful career. The colouring throughout is remark ■ably natural, the acting splendid, and the settings gigantic! GRAND Final screenings today "Naughty but Nice," and "Danger on Wheels" Commencing with two presentations to-morrow "Old Bones of the River" Will Hay, Graham Moffatt, Moore Marriott. A riot of laughter from the comedy trio who first moved you with mirth in "Windbag the Sailor," "Oh, Mr Porter" and "Convict 99." "The Cisco Kid and the Lady" Caesar Romero, Marjorie Weaver. We've seen the Cisco Kid in the shape of Warner Baxter, and we've had the 'Cowboy and the Lady/ with Gary Cooper and" Merle Oberon, and now we are to have , the "The Cisco Kid and the Lady" with Caesar Roniear "and ]Vtarjoxie Weav-" er iii' the; title roles.
