REGENT THEATRE PROGRAMME.

"THE MAN WITH NINE LIVES." Screening finally to-night at the Regent Theatre, New Plymouth, is "The Man With Nine Lives," starring Boris Karloff and supported by Roger Pryor and Jo Ann Sayers. The second picture, "Kid Nightingale," features John Payne and ; Jane Wyman in a comedy of a singer and the prize ring. Commencing tomorrow at 7.45 p.m. is "Josette," a gay, tantalising comedy with Robert Young, Simone Simon, Don Ameche, Bert Lahr and Joan Davis. It all starls gaily on its way when Bob and Don decide that their papa is a little bit too fond of Josette. The fact that Simon (Josette) is innocent of all guile as regards papa only adds to the madness, for Bob and Don pack papa off on a trip and decide to take Josette into their own hands— or arms as it later dcvelops. The denouement cannot l>e divulged liere, but lct it be said that "Josette," with its Gordon and Revcll songs, is grand fun. The associate feature is "Panamints Bad Man." Unusual in many respects in tiiat it includes an excellent stoi'v and dispenses with the old pay-the-mortgage-and-save-the-girl plot this picture features Smith Ballew who plays the part of a United State Deputy investigating the loss of silver shipments from the Wells Fargo express coach. Assisting Ballew in this thrilling action picture are Evelyn Daw, Noah Beery, jnr„ and Stanley Fields. Miss Daw sings several duets with Ballew who also sings a special number "I'Ve Got Some Riding To Do."
