REGENT THEATRE
"101 MEN AND A GIRL." Wboever enjoyed Deanna Durbin's first film, "Three Smart Girls," was given in it no moro than a taste or a glimpse of the delights that she is capable of putting into one individual pmformance and whjch form the real substance of "100 Men and a Girl," screening at the Regent to-night. She combinee the glorious richness of a matured voice with the sweetness of a child % and .to that great voca) asset she adds a personality which has as many facets as a cut diamond and which glitters no less brilliantly. The great mass of people will need no better recommendation to see Deanna Dufbin than Deanna herself, but the miieical publie will note that Leopold Stokowski and his Philadelphia Sympkony Orchestra present several numbers, including the Zampa overture and Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. And, as gems of hardly lesser lustre, there is a thoroughly appealing and satisfying piece of human acting by Adolphe Menjou and a bubbling fiow of humour from Eugene Palette, Alice Brady and Mischa Auen. All these elements are harmoniously blended in the story of a girl's success in inducing the world 's greatest conductor to lead a full symphony orchestra of out-of-work musicians.
