NEW REGENT

WALLACE BEERY AGAIN Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton are together again. They have been soldiers and sailors and airmen. They then turned their hand to putting out fires with laughing success. Now they’re back in the army for a little while, and Wally tries his hand at mountain climbing after demobilisa-, tion. His efforts will provide the humour for the patrons of the New Regent Theatre, where the new picture, “Wive Savers,” will be shown, commencing to-night. Louis Hozenozzle, played by Wallace Beery, is the official biscuit maker of the small section of the American Army that is making the Swiss Alps safe for tourists at the time the World War ends. Raymond Hatton (Rodney Ramsbottom)' is a second-lieutenant in Beery’s outfit, and is the greatest hound for salutes in the army. He particularly likes to make Beery salute him as their positions were reversed in civilian life. Hatton was a waiter in a hash house where Beery lorded it as head waiter. The Swiss dames in the village where the boys are billeted are like women everywhere. They fall for the officers. Consequently Hatton has picked himself off a little playmate in Sally Blane (Colette); Beery hasn’t had much luck along that line, and has only been able to attract Germaine (Zasu Pitts) the village husband seeker. But the trouble starts when Hatton has to go away and leaves his Colette to the tender care of Beery. A full supporting programme will also be provided, including a Clyde Cook comedy and a New Zealand film. On the musical side, Leslie V. Harvey at the Wurlitzer organ will play “Toreador’s Song,” from “Carmen,” and Schumann’s “Traumerei/ and the overture and incidental music will be provided by Arthur G. Frost and the Regent Operatic Orchestra.
