REGENT THEATRE
"THE SHOW GOES ON" It is doubtful whether any star in. the British film industry has a drawing power equal to that of Gracie Fields. She is without doubt a great actress. By the single force of her radiating personality, Miss Fields places her films iu a category by themselves. In the picture, ' ' The Show Goes On," which screens at the Eegent Theatre to-night. Gracie Fields is the star. Tho supporting players, one feels, are there as a setting in which to display her talents. Certainly in their company she scintillates. A number of tuneful songs are introduced in the .course of the picture, these including "A Song in Your Heart," "My Love for You," "You've Got to Smile When You Say Goodbye," and "We're All Good Pals Together." As accompanist to the star, Cyril Eitehard, whom New Zealanders know well from his appearance in J. C. Williamson productions, has the leading male part. He plays it well. Owen Nares also gives excellent| support as a sympathetic orchestra leader.^As a character player this actor should have a bright future. The supporting programme, including a Governoient short subject, "Eegained Horizon," is excellent.
