REGENT THEATRE

"LOVE ON THE EUN"

Eomance runs rampant, a.dventure bas its fling and love conquers all in tbe delightful new M.G.M. comedy melodrama, "Love on tbe Run/' wbicb screens at tbe Regent Theatre tonight. Teaming those two exhilarating and colourful personalities, Joan Crawford and Clark Gable, in a dashing tale of modern doings by ultra-modern people the new picture provides excitepaent and laughter in an entertainment melange of an heiress, a fortune-hunt-ing nobleman, two American correspondents and a brace of European crooks. Miss Crawford has never been more vibrant than in her present role of the American heiress who, on the verge of marrying a nobleman, finds out just in time that it is her money rather than herself that he is after. In an attempt to escape from interviewers she xushes pell-mell into the arms of Gable, playing an American correspondent, and conseq-uently finds herself immersed in a series of hairbreadth escape3 involving Franchot Tona as a rival reporter, and a clever pair of Continental swindlers. In the tangled events that ensue Gable captures not only a first-rate story for his paper but also a charming bride. Witb Joan. Crawford, Clark Gable and Franchot Tone at the helm, "Love on the Run" develops deliciously into unexpected * thrills, moments of tender emotion, and situations of explosive mirth. It is garnished with a.witty and piquant dialogue, especially in the passages at arms between the rival newspaper men, that keeps laughter as well as love#on the run.
