REGENT NOW SHOWING—“THE PROUD VALLEY” (Paul Robeson. Janet Johnson, Simon Lack and Famous Welsh Choirs) and v “BRITAIN SHOULDERS ARMS.” As a Welsh miner in “The Proud Valley,” Paul Robeson is said to surpass any of his previous screen portrayals.

COMING ATTRACTIONS—“JUDGE HARDY AND SON” (Lewis Stone. Mickey Rooney. Cecilia Parker, Fay Holden, Ann Rutherford); “SWEETHEARTS” (Nelson Eddy, Jeanette MacDonald); “VIRGINIA CITY” (Errol Flynn.
