NEW REGENT

“KISS IN A TAXI” TO-MORROW The famous Montmartre section of Paris with its quaint cafes and temperamental artists forms the setting for Bebe Daniels’s latest Paramount starring picture, “A Kiss in a Taxi,” which will be the chief feature on the programme at the New Regent tomorrow. Bebe is cast as the pretty fierytempered waitress of the Cafe Pierre

whose penchant lor throwing crockery at the heads of insisent admirers gets her into all sorts of difficulty. She finds herself in love with Lucien Camholle (Douglas Gilmore), an unsuccessful artist whose father forbids their marriage.

Comic situations pile one on the other to culminate in an hilarious ending. Chester Conklin goes through an entirely new repertoire of antics in expressing disapproval of being made a goat. Director Clarence Badger is said to have got the utmost out of situations already intensely humorous, not neglecting any opportunity to inject sly touches. Supporting Miss Daniels is a strong cast of well-known actors, notably Agostino Borgato, who played 12 years with Elinor Duse, and Henry Kolker and Richard Tucker, both of whom have delighted countless audiences in the past.
