REGENT THEATRE
“DRAMATIC SCHOOL” FINALLY TONIGHT. “Dramatic School” will be shown finally tonight at the Regent Theatre. “FOUR’S A CROWD.” With a cast topped by Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Rosalind Russell, and Patrie Knowles, “Four’s a Crowd,’ Warner Bros.’ swiftly-paced comedy romance, opens tomorrow at the Regent Theatre. Walter Connolly, Hugh Herbert, Melville Cooper, and Franklin Pangborn are also featured. The quartet to whom the title refers is made up of Errol Flynn, as a former newspaper editor who has become a high-powered public relations counsellor; Olivia de Havilland, as a spoiled heiress to many millions; Rosalind Russell. as a clever and witty, as well as good-looking, newspaper reporter; and Patrie Knowles, rich playboy engaged to. wed Olivia, who inherits the paper on which Rosalind works. The crowding to which the members of the quartet subject each other begins when Pat decides to end his newspaper's existence because it is losing money, but is roundly denounced by the outspoken Rosalind, who ends her tirade with the advice that all the owner need to do to turn his paper into a money-maker is to hire a live-wire newspaperman like Errol as managing editor. Pat takes the advice, Errol returns to the newspaper business, and, looking for a sensational issue to .arouse interest, launches a series' of attacks on Olivia’s grandfather, played by Walter Connolly, who is an irascible and unscrupulous millionaire business brigand with two hobbies —miniature railroad trains and a pack of eighteen Great Danes which he is wont to set on unwelcome visitors to his estate. Errol meets Olivia and falls in love with her, although he is also courting Rosalind. He is so successful with Olivia that she breaks jier engagement to Pat, and the ‘latter turns to Rosalind for solace. He gets it—and an elopement. This merry mix-up proves the truth of the title, but the final scene in the office of a bewildered Justice of the Peace clears up the matter.
