MOVIE QUIZ

GROWING IN FAVOUR KNOWLEDGE IS THE PASSWORD The Regent Theatre is the. scene of earnest concentration of the faithful moviegoers once a week when the management present, their weekly movie quiz. Six 5s prizes open for competition every session cause frantic brain searching and memory .jogging—for who doesn't desire to view the programme "on the house" and perhaps catch a few shillings in prize money to boot. When interviewed Mr Chapman, manager of both Regent and Grand said: "Honestly, it has been more fun than a dog fight." Continuing, he explained that the quiz questions that the organisation thought too difficult often drew the greatest number of correct answers, whilst those which were easily solved by a glance''at the advertising posters displayed, the full length of the foyer were unanswered and became Jack Pots the next week.

'"'Our best laugh came from the inside.," said Mr Chapman. "Our commentator, who docs .not know the answers himself tried to help the customers .solve what he thought was a toughie by .saying the '"wanted'' star's first name was Claudcttc. when Constance really was her Christian name: but he sportingly fined himse'f 5s for his misinformation and added same to the next session.
