REGENT THEATRE.
In. "Desire," now showing at the Regent Theatre. Marlene Dietrich will again win the approval of picturegoers with her fine performance under the direction of Frank Borzage. Miss Dietrich has now "come down' to earth," and is a human being with a real sense of humour. Gary Cooper as a young American on vacation in Spain also scores- a big success. The story opens in Paris with a cleverly executed jewel raid, and the flight of the adventuress Dietrich to the Spanish border. On the -way a mishap occurs as a result of which the lovely jewelthief is forced to part company with the stolen property. The young American helps the escapee and is unable to escape himself. The story moves to an amusing and exciting climax. The stars are supported, by an able cast, including Joan Halliday, "Alan Mowbray, William Frawley, and Ernest Cossart. The excellent supporting programme includes a "short" of particular interest to a Wellington public. It is "Make-up Magic," by Mr. Clement May, and shows him as a master of theatrical disguise.
