WAIPAWA REGENT
"LAST OF MRS CJHEYNEY," TO-NIGHT AND MONDAY. The glittering star triumvirate of Joan Crawford, William Powell, and Kobert Montgomery come to the .Rcgent screen to-night and Monday in M.G.M.'s urbane and highly polished screen translation of Fr-ederic Lonsdale's stage success, "The Last of Mra Cheyney. ' ' The plot revolves abont a youiig American widoiv.'who crasbes London society and is sought after in marriage ' by two of Mayfair 's' most eligible bachelors. At a fashionable house party a prieeless rope. of pearls. vanishes, and Lord Dilling, one of .Mrs Cheyney '» suitors, traces .the theft of the pearls to the lady hferself. It is when he offers her an insidious - alternative to facing the police that the real • chnracter of the girl is made apparent. I.*nthe end it is discovered that Mrs Choy-, ney's butler - is the actual thief, but tlie complications which bring about. this fihal denouement cause much laughter. It is one of M.G.M.'s biggest laugh hits, and no wonder, with such a pair of rascals as Bill and Bob tangled up in the romantic escapades of Joan as the girl from the "five and ten" who crashes society.
