WAIPAWA REGENT
"Dodsworth" — To-night and Monday A powerful social drama, adaptecl from the novel by Sinclair Lewis and produced for United Artists by Samuel Goldwyn, under the title "Dodsworth," will be screened at the Waipawa Regent to-night and Monday at S o'clock. 'The iilm ia iifted far above the standards of ordinary productions by the brilliant character acting of the principals, who ruc.'udc VValter Hust-on, in the name part, Ruth Chatterton as Mrs Dodsworth, Mary Astor as the womant who eventually wins Dodsworth' s loyaity and affcction, and Paul Lukas and David Niven in the other roles. ' Ruth Chatterton, famous for her many sophisticated roles, gives what many believe to be the outstanding portrayal of her career in a part which calls for a complete reversal of her own individualit-y. Walter Huston, as Samuel Dodsworth, seems to be the livinp embodiment of the man Sinclair Lewis made famous in this analysis of the doting American husband, overmastering in business ability, yet boyishly incapable of controlling and directing a spoilt wife who did not know when she was well off. The supporting programme includes Walt Disney|s magnificent colour cartoon, "Mickey's Grand Opera.'*
