REGENT THEATRE

"DESICN FOR LIYING" Ernst Lubitsch's "Design for Living" is playing to-night at the Eegent Theatre. It has for its leading players Fredric March, Gary Cooper, Miriam Hopkins and Edward EVerett Horton and is an adaption of Noel Coward's sensational stage success of the same name. Paramount, struck with .the amusing entertainment possibilities of the Noel Coward play, placed a mdst important cast in the hlm. On a Parisbound train, Miriam Hopkins, vivacious young artist, first meets the two men who are to change her life. They are George Curtis, also an artist and Tom Chambers, play wright, played by Cooper and March respectively. Tom and ( George both fall rnadly in love with her. To further complicate matters, Miss Hopkins falls -in love, too. Only she is too fond of Tom to tell him she loves George, and she loves George too much to hurt to tell him about Tom. The three of them settle down together to a triangular love-nest. But happiness isn't won so easily, and the manner in whieh they eventually do gettogether brings the picture to a most amusing ending. i Coming Saturday, Saturday's attraction is "Three Small Girls", which4 comes direct from a sjx-weeks' season in Wellington, Where the new young star, Deanna Durbin, has delighted picture-goers. Owing to many inquiries, plans are now open and seats may be booked.
