REGENT THEATRE

“LITTLE TOUGH GUYS IN SOCIETY.” The current programme, headed by “Little Tough Guys in Society,” will be finally shown tonight. “YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU.” A perfect cast brings the theatre’s most amazing gallery of characters to life on the screen in “You Can’t Take It With You,” which will commence on Saturday at the Regent Theatre. Jean Arthur is more adorable than ever as Alice Sycamore. Lionel Barrymore is in his most lovable role as Grandpa Vanderhof, -who suddenly decided one day to quit work and have fun. James Stewart as Tony Kirby is the rich man’s son who would rather be a poor girl’s husband and Edward Arnold is the millionaire who learns that the best things in life are free. The picture provides splendid entertainment. The famous Pulitzer Prize play is triumphantly brought to the screen in all its heart-warming humanity by a cast rising to the occasion like the great artists they are. “You Can’t Take It With You,” is an eagerly awaited screen event and one of the happiest hits in years. The screen play is based on the stage success by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. Appearing in support of the stars is a sensational cast including Mischa Auer, Spring Byington, Ann Miller, I-lalliwell Hobbes, H. B. Warner, Donald Meek and Samuel S. Hinds.

“You Can’t Take It With You” is one of the best pictures ever brought to the screen, and will undoubtedly make a warm appeal to audiences because of its theme and brilliant acting by an outstanding cast of players.
