REGENT THEATRE

‘■LOVE FINDS ANDY HARDY." The fourth of the now famous ■Judge Hardy Family” scries of talking pictures, "Love Finds Andy Hardy" will be finally shown at the Regent Theatre tonight. In the picture attention has been given to the romantic problems facing young boys and girls in a small midwestern city. Their heart-breaks and happiness, amusements and adventures are authentically painted against a background of the home. Lewis Stone again plays Judge Hardy, kindly, understanding and discerning head of a family of five. Mickey Rooney, as his son, Andy, is a happy-go-lucky, irresponsible youth, , growing up and finding that such things as girls exist in his world. Judy Garland has been added to the cast. "SECOND BEST BED.” In "Second Best Bed,” at the Regent Theatre tonight, filmgoers will have an opportunity of seeing Tom Walls as he really is. In most of his comedies he appears as a philanderer, sometimes a felon and nearly always as a man whose pleasures are sought by night rather than by day. "Second Best Bed” shows him as a typical English country gentleman, a sheriff of his county, whose main interests lie in the direction of his pigs, horses and dogs. In private life Tom Wall’s chief passion is farming. Most of his film earnings go into the development of his farms at Ewell and Chertsey. He comes of farming stock and takes this pursuit very seriously. He confesses that when filmgoers get tired of seeing him on the screen, a circumstance some considerable time off if his films come up to the splendid standard set by his latest comedy, he is determined to settle down and become an everyday farmer. Jane Baxter will be the principal supporting star in this outstanding comedy. On Saturday Spencer Tracy and Luise Rainer will appear in "Big City.”
