“NEW YORK”

REGENT ON FRIDAY New York! Vibrant, rushing, complex, gigantic, colourful New York! Times Square on a - rainy night as frantic theatre-goers hail loaded taxicabs. . . . Moonlight on the East River. . . . Starched nurses showing millionaire babies the animals in the Central Park Zoo. . . . Norman Trevor in his latest Bond Street suit. . . . The Woolworth Building towering over downtown Manhattan.

Orchard Street’s teeming pushcart market. . . . The Plaza Hotel, rendezvous of debutantes. . . . Ricardo Cortez and Lois Wilson taking the air on top of a Fifth Avenue bus. . . . Broadway and its electric signs. . . . The gilded rooster on the Hecksher Building tower. ... A patient crowd waiting to catch a glimpse of celebrities.

The Central Park Lake where sailors go rowing on their days off. . . . Upper Fifth Avenue and the Metropolitan Museum. . . . There go “Skeets” Gallagher, a musical comedy star, and William Powell, the movie villain. . . .

The Washington Square Arch, connecting link between Fifth Avenue and Greenwich Village. . . . Estelle Taylor on the steps of City Hall. . . . What’s she doing?

Trolley cars rattling over Manhattan Bridge. . . . Tug boats chugging under Brooklyn Bridge. . . . How would you like to live in a bungalow atop of a skyscraper? . . . Welfare Island,

where the “morning after” lasts 30 days. . . . The line at the box office of the Rivoli Theatre. ... A destroyer steaming up to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. . . . Bums in front of the Public Library.

Every one of these people and places are to be seen in the Paramount picture, “New York,” coming to the New Regent Theatre on Friday. Luther Reed directed.
