THE REGENT

“LONDON MELODY” “London Melody” will be formally screened this evening at the Regent. THRILLS IN COLOUR FILM A thrilling earthquake, trapping Dorothy Lamour, Ray Milland, Lynne Overman, J. Carrol Naish and hundreds of native extras provide a splendid climax to the tropical romance, “Her Jungle Love,” Paramount’s new technicolour film which will open tomorrow night at the Regent Theatre. Miss Lamour, who scored heavily as a “native” girl in the picture that vaulted her to screen stardom, “The Jungle Princess,” reunited with Ray Milland in this jungle film that combines all the elements of romance, thrills, mystery, and a riot of blazing natural colours. Miss Lamour, a white “goddess” is discovered by Milland, when his plane crashes, after art encounter with a typhoon, on an otherwise deserted island. Both he and his mechanic, Lynne Overman, the rubber-faced comedian, are befriended by Miss Lamour, who ad first tried to kill them, the fear of white men being instilled in her by the power-mad J. Carrol Naish, ruler of hundreds of supersti-tion-ridden natives. Milland falls in love with the beautiful “goddess,” but their romance renders the position of the two stranded fliers doubly dangerous. The subsequent scenes are full of thrills.
