A LAUGH RIOT
“TAKE A LETTER, DARLING” PROGRAMME AT REGENT SMART, SOPHISTICATED COMEDY - Something new in movie plots is offered in Paramount’s hilarious romance, “Take a Letter, Darling,” directed by Mitchell Leisen, co-star-ring ’Rosalind Russell and Fred MacMurray, which comes to the Regent Theatre on Saturday and Monday. Miss Russell, a very successful advertising executive, hires Mac Murray as her secretary. Mac Murray knows nothing about shorthand or typing. He’s an artist, temporarily in the financial doldrums, but for the job he’s, hired to do, he doesn’t have to know shorthand. He finds, himself escorting Miss Russell around town, occasionally posing as her fiance, and always.,, having to be nice to the jealous wives of prospective clients. Mac Murray and Miss Russell of course, fall in love but Rosalind won’t admit it. Riotous complications develop with the appearance of Macdonald Carey, a woman-hating tobacco magnate, and his man-hunting sister Constance Moore, who goes after Mac Murray. Robert Benchley adds to the high humour of the picture as Miss Russell’s business partner. He does nothing but play with games while Rosklind attends to the work. Cecil Kellaway is also seen as a very genial drunk. FINALLY TO-NIGHT DOUBLE FEATURE “The Saint Meets The Tiger,” and “ Hellzapoppin,” will show finally tonight at the Regent Theatre.
