THE REGENT

“DANGEROUS TO KNOW.” An all-star cast of some of Hollywood’s players, including Anna May Wong, Akim Tamiroff, Gail Patrick, Lloyd Nolan and Roscoe Karns, will be seen in the new Paramount drama, “Dangerous to Know,” which will be shown finally tomorrow at the Regent Theatre. “BLUEBEARD’S Sth WIFE.” Claudette Colbert and Gary Cooper form .a brilliant new comedy team, while the direction of Ernst Lubitsch brings out the punch of the French background in “Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife,” the picture of life among Europe’s smart set, which Paramount will present at the Regent Theatre bn Saturday. The story, adapted from the famous play of Alfred Savior, tells about a much-married American multimillionaire who is subdued and put into a strait-jacket by his eighth wife, whom he marries for a new thrill. Miss Colbert is the same flip, ingenious girl who made screen history in last year’s “I Met Him' in Paris.” Cooper, as the philandering American, plays opposite her in a role that fits him. After becoming the bride of the much-married financier, Miss Colbert, a penniless French aristocrat, starts out on a campaign to bring him to his knees and humble his pride for the first time. There is a lightness of touch and spontaniety of humour in the picture.
