REGENT THEATRE

“THERE'S ALWAYS A WOMAN.” Columbia’s bright comedy, “There’s Always a Woman,” is the new film at the Regent Theatre tonight. This comedy starts on a novel note, introducing Joan Blondell as the new operator of the defunct private detective agency of her sleuth-husband Melvyn Douglas now happily reinstated on the District Attorney’s staff. And lo a murder. Douglas assigned to solve it, is amazed, and not at all pleased, to learn that this bewildering young wife is working independently on the self-same mystery. The comedy clash. that ensues leaves Douglas the most harassed young man in town. He must even obtain a warrant to search his own apartment for a letter his wife has which he wants-

“LETTER OF INTRODUCTION.” “Letter of Introduction,” commencing on Saturday at the Regent Theatre, should attract the attention it deserves. The plot, which allows for many dramatic situations and comedy undertones, makes “Letter of Introduction” a picture out of the ordinary. The letter of introduction which gives the title to the film leads to some amazing situations. .When Andrea Leeds, as Kay Martin, takes it to John Mannering, screen and stage idol, whose powers are waning, and who is played to the life by Adolphe Menjou, Mannering discovers that Kay is his daughter, whose existence he had never suspected. George Murphy, Kay’s sweetheart, is not told of the relationship between Kay and Mannering, and misunderstands ' it, a lover’s quarrel thus arising. The letter also serves to introduce Bergen and “Charlie McCarthy,” a really amazing ventriloquial turn.
