MERRY MYSTERY

“A NIGHT TO REMEMBER” PROGRAMME AT REGENT ' COMEDY, MYSTERY, ADVENTURE Something new in laughter is assured Regent Theatre audiences when Columbia’s ♦merry mirth-filled mystery “ A Night To Remember,” opens to-night and Wednesday. Loretta Young and Brian Aherne are co-star-red in the gay new comedy which recounts their giddy goings on in Greenwich Village where, between kisses, they hunt killers! Loretta and Aherne are seen in “A Night to Remember” as a young married couple who move to a basement apartment on the appropriately named Gay Street, in Greenwich Village, that world famous haunt of delightful people. As Jeff and Nancy Troy, seeking “atmosphere/’ for Jeff’s latest novel, the co-stars find it—in their, new home, a basement apartment which once was a speakeasy; and in their owp backyard, which one morning harbours a corpse! The neighbours provide their share of the excitement, as do the police, who want to know “Who drowned a man in Nancy’s bath tub?” Jeff, under suspicion himself, provides a question of his own: “Who killed who with a horseshoe—for luck?” And Nancy, no slouch at parlour quiz games, wants to know the answer to her own little problem: “What kind of clue was Jeff hunting in, another

girl’s arms?” The questions—and the answers—are said by Hollywood to provide a motion picture which is both startling and gay, an adventure worth enjoying The co-stars prove ideal for each others antic and romantic activities and wisecracks. ANZAC DAY NO SCREENING No pictures will be screened at the Regent Theatre on Anzac Day, Tuesday, April 25'.
