REGENT THEATRE

"DODGE CITY.” Tonight will mark the final screening of the very successful all technicolour triumph, "Dodge City,” Warner Bros.' latest, starring vehicle for Errol Flynn and Olivia De Havilland. “LUCKY NIGHT.” A scintillating new comedy team will come to the Regent Theatre tomorrow in "Lucky Night,” in which Myrna Loy and Robert Taylor make their first appearance together before .the cameras. It was a lucky thought on the part of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to take the romantic Taylor and team him with the joyous and irrepressible Miss Loy. Taylor demonstrates a flair for comedy as authentic and virile as he has displayed in drama. Miss Loy is even more beautiful than patrons have seen her in previous pictures, for the producers have been lavish with their budget in gowning her. Interweaving moving heart throbs with uproarious laughter, the story unfolds the accidental meeting and later marital careers of Cora Jordan and Bill Overton. Cora, the spoiled daughter of a millionaire steel magnate, walks out on her fourth engagement to hunt for a job. Bill is a playboy down on his luck. Following an accidental meeting on a park bench, they gamble, frolic and fight their way to fortune, get married, quarrel over the family budget, separate and come together again after a series of mad-as-march-hare commplications as hilarious as they are novel/ With an excellent cast of funmakers in support, of the stars, and a production richly mounted and taking in all the high and handsome spots of New York night life, “Lucky Night was superbly directed by the Academy Award winner, Norman Taurog. A superb array of featurettes add further lustre to a line programme. The plans arc at the theatre (phone 2303).
