THE NEW REGENT
LAST NIGHT OF ‘JOY AND JAZZ” As predicted at the beginning of the season, “Joy and Jazz Week,” at the new Regent Theatre has been one of the greatest successes since the “theatre magnificent” opened. Again last eve ning there was a crowded audience* which enthusiastically' demonstrated its appreciation of the varied programme offered. “Cabaret,” the principal film, is one of Paramount’s most colourful dramas, and it stars glorious, golden Gilda Gray, the dancing rage of the world, in a role even greater than that which she hud in “Aloma of the South Seas.” Most of the action takes place in a. glittering New York cabaret and against the tinselled night club life, is woven a big murder mystery. Tom Moore plays the part of a detective in love with the dancer and Chester Conklin, is the dancer’s father. On the stage is a riot of colour. Maurice Guttridge and the new Operatic Orchestra ploy the latest jazz hits, and the “Joy Boys,” Tilton and West, are heard in their brightest numbers. Eddie Horton receives wonderful reception* for h;is offerings at the mighty Wurlitzer. Booking for this evening’s final performance is heavy.
