REGENT THEATRE
"THE GREAT ZIEGFELD." fThe Great Ziegfeld" screens at the Regent Theatre to-night. Not only does it contain musical spectacles of the best quality but, in a story stiggested by the life of the oue and only Ziegfeld, it presents drama that will draw tears to the eyes of the most blase theatregoer. Topping this 5-ring circus of entertainment are found William Powell in the role of Ziegfeld, Myra Loy as Billie Burke and Luise Rainer as Anna Held. Without contradiction, Powell does the finest work of his career as the great glorifier of beauty. For her role of Anna Held Luise Rainer won the acting award for this year and Myra Loy as the lovely Bfllie Burke is at her lovliest. The drama alone could well be classed as one of the best oi the screen, but this picture does not stop with drama. It has music and beautiful girls presented in the most spectacular fashion in the many amazing numbers. Some of the tunes were made famous in Ziegfeld stage shows, and others, particularly "You," were written originally for this extravaganza. Reservations by phone must be claimed by 7^45 p.m.
