REGENT THEATRE

“LETTER OF INTRODUCTION.” The current programme headed by “Letter of Introduction,” will be shown finally tonight at the Regent Theatre. “THAT CERTAIN WOMAN.” Again given a photoplay that has plenty of scope for her unique emotional talents, Bette Davis in “That Certain Woman,” should delight audiences at the Regent Theatre, the season opening tomorrow night. Adventure —romantic love — martyrdom — mother-love —are all portrayed by her in the course of this exciting drama. Her part in the play is much more important than the one in her recent “Kid Galahad,” with Edward G. Robinson, and the role is even more tense and engrossing than the one she had in “Dangerous.” “That Certain Woman” is a story about the widow of a slain gangster, who despite the scorn of the world and the persecution of enemies, wins her way to business success and to the affections of a worthwhile man. Henry Fonda carries the male romantic interest, while others in the cast include lan Hunter, Anita Louise, Donald Crisp, Hugh O’Connell, Mary Phillips and Herbert Rawlinson. Locales of the action include Monte Carlo, with some very striking sets, London, Paris and various other Old World capitals, as well as New York City. NOTED PERSONALITY.

At the Regent Theatre on Friday afternoon and night there will be a public appearance of Mr Bert Bailey, who has made famous the part of Dad in Steele Rudd’s stories. There will also be shown one of his funniest films, “Grandad Rudd.” There will be a matinee after school on Friday afternoon.
