REGENT THEATRE

r ~ "LOVE ON THE SUN" Eomance runs rampant, adventure has its fling and lov.e conquers all in ihe delightful new M.G.M. comedy melodrama, "Love on the-Bun." which sereens at the Eegent Theatre tonight. learning those two exhilaratxng and colourful personalities, Joan Crawford and Clark Gablej in a dashing ' tale of modern doihgs by ultra-modern people the new pieture provides excite-, ment and laughter in an entertainment* , melange of an heiress, a fortune-hunt-mg 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 *ime that it is her money rather than herself that he is after. In an attempt to escape from interviewers she rushes pell-mell .into the d,rms of Gable, playing an American correspondent. and eonsequently finds herself immersed in a series of hairbreadth elscapes involving Franchot Tona as a rival reporter, and a clever pair of Continental swindlers. In the tangled events that ensue Gable cap•tures not only a first-rate story for his paper but also a charming bride. V^fth Joan Crawford, Clark Gable and Eranehot Tone at the helm, "Love I on the Eun" develops deliciously into I unexpected thrills, moments ' of tender I emotion, and situations of explosive I inirth. It is garnished with a witty and 1 piquant dialogue, espe'cially in the passages at aTms between the Tival newspaper men, that keeps laughter as well as love on the run.
