REGENT THEATRE
“CLUNY BROWN” Saturday and Monday. As the stars of Ernst Lubitsch’s production of “Cluny Brown,” opening at the Regent Theatre, Charles Boyer and Jennifer Jones have surprised even themselves. In the title role of the 20th Century-Fox comedy, Jennifer, who won the Academy Award for her sensitive portrayal in “The Song of Bernadette,” plays a madcap’ English girl who twice gives vent to an irrepressible urge to be a plumber. In the role of a Czech refugee writer, Charles is called upon to unsnarl a traffic tie-up involving bicycles and sheep. “You know,” Jennifer told Producer-Director Lubitsch as she lowered her heavy kit of plumbing tools to the floor, “before this picture, I never had a Stilson wrench in my hands.” “That’s nothing,” commented Charles with a wry grin, “before this picture I never played governess to a herd of sheep.” ‘Cluny Brown” marks the first screen appearance together of Charles Boyer and Jennifer Jones.
