THE REGENT.
“SAN FRANCISCO.” The big attraction at the Regent Theatre tonight will be “San Francisco,” which has drawn crowded houses on its return showing in other parts of the Dominion. It is a drama which has love interest, comedy and spectacle. Clark Gable has the rough and tough type of role in which his screen public like him best. Jeanette MacDonald has the ideal part to give her opportunity to sing and when she sings there are reasons for her singing for her songs are part of the plot. “San Francisco” is the story of the Barbary Coast thirty years ago, opening on New Year’s Eve, 1906, and continuing through one of the-most disastrous dramas of the century, the San Francisco earthquake and fire. There will be shown also a strong supporting programme including that clever novelty, “Audioscopiks,” and two news reels, one of which shows Hitler’s recent entry into Austria and Vienna. The bill of fare is one which will attract large audiences each night.
