DEANNA DURBIN
COMING TO REGENT.
Although a different Deanna Durbin is presented in her latest picture, “Thai Certain Age.” in the sense that she reaches the age of romance the theme makes no difference to the spirit and charm of her work. As ever she simply radiates happiness and is the personification of the joy of youth. “That Certain Age” is coming on Saturday week to the Regent Theatre. The tradition of brightness is continued, the comedy is of character as well as of situation, and it shows the continued growth of the talents of the young star. There is this to be added, that it is not primarily a musical film. There arc pleasant songs, well sung, but the chief aim seems to have been to reveal her development as an actress, and she acquits herself with the seriousness appropriate to her age, with a rich unconsciousness of her humour, and with that spontaneity and freshness which are always present with her. In the progress of the film there is great strength gained from the forethought which cast Melvyn Douglas as the object of her unsuspected affections.
