AMUSEMENTS

Regent.—Possibly the best recommendation of “Quiet Week-end,” which commences an extended season today, is that the film is now in its fifteenth week at the Embassy Theatre, Auckland, with a record of over 140,000 admissions. “Quiet Week-end” succeeds in extracting humour from small and homely things, from nice and homely people. This is its charm; and, for those who relish such peculiarly English comedy, this ensures its success.' It is delightfully mellow, the humour is warm, personal and unforced. A brilliant British Cast includes Derek Farr, Frank Cellier, Marjorie Fielding and Barbara White. .Majestic.—Columbia’s Technicolour out-door drama, “Renegades,” concludes tonight. Wednesday’s change of programme will be headed by Paramount's comedy mystery thriller, “Scared Still',” with Jack Haley and Ann Savage. _ The associate thriller, “Grissly's Millions,” is a surprise mystery starring Paul Kelly and Virginia Grey. The final chapter of of the West,” opens each session. King’s.—That fine film, “Intermezzo.” which is being revived at the King’s Theatre today, is the picture in which we first learned of Ingrid Bergman, the Swedish actress, who has since leapt into one of the foremost positions in the screen business in Hollywood. The fact that she appears in the company of the late Leslie Howard and the English actress Edna Best makes this revival all the more interesting.
