REGENT THEATRE

"1CJ MEN AND A GIRL." Whoever enjoyed Deanna UurbiD's first film^ "Three Smart Girl3," was given in it no more than a taste or a glimpse of the delights that she is eapable of putting into one individual p«-j-formance and which form the real substance of "100 Men and a. Girl," screening at the Regent to-night. She combines the giorious richness of a matured voice with the sweetness of a child's, and to that great vocal asset she adds a personality which has aa many facets as a cut diamoud and which glitters no less brilliantly. The great mass of people will need no •better recommendation to see Deanna Durbin than Deanna herself, but the mueical public will note that Lenpold Slokowski and his Philadelphia Sym- | phony Orchestra present severai numbers, including the Zampa overture aud Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. And, as gem-s of hardly lesser iustre, there is a thoroughiy appealing and satisfying piece of humau acting by Adolphe Menjou and a bubbliug flow of humour from Eugene PalettOj Alice Brady and Mischa Auen, All thes'e elements are harmoniously bjended in th9 story of 'a girl's success m iuducing Ihe world's greatest condactor to lead a full.symphony orchestra of out-of-v/ork hiusieians.
