PROGRAMME AT REGENT ‘OUTLAWS OF THE DESERT* , —, FILMS SHOWING FRIDAY ONLY Four song numbers of Frank Loesser and Jule Styne will be heard in Paramount’s college mystery-musi-cal, “Sweater Girl,” with Eddie Bracken and June Priesser teamed in the leads. “Sweater Girl” willshow on Friday only at the Regent Theatre. “What Happens Now?” is sung by Eddie and June. “I Don’t Want to Walk Without You,” sung by Johnnie Johnston, young radio newcomer, with a reprise by Betty Jane Rhodes, Who is also heard in “That’s Why I Bought Liberty Magazine.” A fourth number by Loesser and Styne probably will bear the title of the picture. There’s a double thrill in store for you at the Regent Theatre when Paramount’s latest butdoor drama, ‘,‘Outlaws of the Desert,” shows on Friday only. For not only is plenty of excitement, romance and mystery whipped up, but the action takes place in that most colourful outpost of civilisation —Arabia —land of bandits, dancing harem girls, Sheiks and burning desert wastes. “Hopalong Cassidy,” filmdom’s famous cowboy sleuth played by twofisted Bill Boyd, goes to this strange land of thoroughbred horses for the Army Remount .Service. His steady, saddlefnates, Andy “California” 'Clyde and Brad King, accompany him on the mission along with the rancher in charge of the expedition, and Jean Phillips, his beautiful daughter. Adventurers trick Stanley and his daughter into being kidnapped by a wild tribe of desert bandits. “Hoppy” secures the aid of a friendly Bedouin Sheik and works out an intriguing campaign to free the captured members of his party. Climaxed by one of the mightiest desert cavalry battles ever screened, “Hoppy” wins out and cleans up the lawless element. “TO BE OR NOT TO BE” ROMANTIC COMEDY The presentation of Carole Lombard’s last picture, “To Be Or Not To Be,” will take place at the Regent Theatre on Saturday and Monday. “To Be Or Not To Be” is an exciting romantic comedy keyed to an ever mounting tempo of suspense. You will roll with laughter and yet jump with excitement from the rapidfire thrills of this spectacular movie experience. Jack Benny, in rare form, is enormously funny as the conceited stage star who puts the “Ham” in Hamlet. Directed by Ernest Lubitsch, who’s deft genius for comedy is apparent in every walk of life.
