THE REGENT

“LEAVE IT TO ME.” The inimitable Sandy Powell has been drawing large audiences to “Leave It To Me,” which will conclude its season tonight. “I’LL TAKE ROMANCE.” Every element that goes to make dazzling entertainment is contained in Columbia’s gay and romantic musicale, “I’ll Take Romance,” starring the screen’s loveliest nightingale, Grace Moore, and featuring Melvyn Douglas. Stuart Erwin and Helen Westley and which will open at the Regent tomorrow. For those, who prefer the classic arias, Miss Moore sings the Drinking Song from “La Traviata,” the Gavotte from “Manon,” the quintet and finale of the third act of “Martha” and finally, as a climax, the duet from “Madame Butterfly.” For the swing enthusiasts Miss Moore, in harmony, so to speak, with Melvyn Douglas and Stuart Erwin, offers that breezy ditty, “She’ll Me Cornin’ Round the Mountain.” In a diverting interlude, Grace Moore sings the infectious song of the French Music Halls, “Paree,” and in the more romantic moments, she regales Melvyn Douglas with the lilting strains of “I’ll Take Romance,” especially written for the film. Free samples of hand lotion and bath essence will be distributed at the Regent both at tomorrow’s matinee and evening session.
