NEW REGENT
“ROUGH HOUSE ROSIE” To-night at the New Regent Theatre the final voting will take place in the “Miss New Zealand 1927” contest. The ten Dominion finalists have been appearing before Auckland audiences for the past two weeks. The announcement of who has been elected as “Miss New Zealand” will be made on the New Regent stage tomorrow by the Mayor, when the crowning ceremony will take place. Clara Bow reaches the New Regent to-morrow in her first starring vehicle for Paramount since “It,” the highly successful Elinor Glyn production. Her new picture, “Rough-House Rosie,” is the tale of an east side girl who “treats her men rough.” For instance, when Sweetie, a professional prizefighter, tries caveman tactics, she gives him a “right to the head” and. —he falls unconscious. Not that the reader should think she’s always that way. Far from it. STou see, Rosie really loves Joe; that is, she loves him until Arthur Russell starts showering attentions on her. Now what would any ordinary mortal .do when a wealthy young man says that he loves you? And then! when Joe starts getting out of bounds, Rosie lias: only one resource—she becomes a “cavewoman.”
’ That’s one of the comedy highlights ■contained in Miss Bow’s latest comedy. Those who read Nunnally Johnson’s ■ ‘Saturday Evening Post” story will . realise the potentialities existing in this tale of a prizefighter, who aspired to the world’s championship, but, was knocked out by his best girl. Reed .Howes is Joe; Arthur Housman, his ' manager; Doris Hill, Clara’s chum, and Douglas Gilmore, the second man. Frank Strayer directed "Rough-House Rosie.” Elsie Bower and Billy Rutherford, described as the “brightest act for ages” and fresh from their successful Australian tour with J. C. Williamson, will make their first appearance to-morrow. Musical selections will be rendered by the operatic orchestra under the baton of Maurice Gut-
