REGENT THEATRE

GRACE MOORE PREMIERE SATURDAY. "VVhen You're in Love", with Grace ! Moore and Gary Grant, is to screen at ! the Regent' on Saturday. This new _musical is the finest that has ever been •made of Miss Moore, and give's her ample opportunity of displaying her undoubted vocal and histrionic ability. i.The newest Graee .Moore picture will please- all-who have enjoyed her earlier pictu.res, and perhaps introduce her to an even wider. public, for her - latest film has other box office angles than the vocal accomplishments of the star. As an Australian opera singer who is tryuig to get into America, but has mislaid her quota number, Grace Moore is sojourning in Mexico in ill-concealed impatience' caused by the fact that Bhe has ^ an obligation to appear at a song festival organised by her uncle in New York. Since no other way out of the difficuity appears, a "marriago of convenience" with an American citizen is arranged to get her over the border, on the understanding that lier husband will tlien divorce her, getting 7000 dollars for being so obliging. The husband, Cary Grant, a handsome and carefree artist, is picked up in the town gaol, which incidentally seems to be a remarkably freo-and-easy institution. Naturally the divorce never comes off. The opera star renders such masterpieces as Schubert's "Serenade," "One Fine Day" from ^Madame Butterfly," "-Siboney," "Vissi Darte" from "La Tosca," the'"Waltz Aria" from ^'Eomeo and Juliet' and "In the Gloaming. " All these besides two excellent new popular numbers by Jerome orn, "Our Song" and "Whisfcling Boy. " Miss Moore is perfeclly supported with a grand story by Eobert Eiskin of "Mr. Deeds" and "It Happened One Night" fame. Cary Grant is just right as a hard-drinking American artist, while Qther roles are dealt with skilfully by Aline McMahon, Henry Stephenson, Thomas Mitchell, Catharine Doucet, Luis Albexni and other. "Devil and The Deep" screens (inally i to-night.
