REGENT THEATRE

“ANGELS WASH THEIR FACES.” Distinctly on the side of good citizenship, though still tough and still aggressive, are the “Dead End Kids” in their latest picture, “The Angels Wash Their Faces,” which will be shown tonight at the Regent Theatre. In addition to the partial reformation of the “Dead Enders,” the production is also notable for_the fact that it provides Ann Sheridan, now known to fame as the “oomph” girl, with her first sympathetic role since her elevation to stardom. In addition to the “Dead Enders,” other fine juvenile performers are in the cast of the new Warner picture. They include Frankie Thomas, Bonita Granville and Jack Searl. Playing in the romantic spot opposite Miss Sheridan is the tall, handsome, and vigorous Ronald Reagan, and heading a sinister group of “heavies” is Eduardo Ciannelli. In the course of the story, the group of youngsters portrayed by the “Dead End Kids aie not only consistently on the side of the law but are mainly responsible for bringing to justice as foul a group of adult malefactors as has ever perpetrated cruel and heartless deeds of villainy in any motion picture. Arson is just one of the crimes to which this band, headed by Ciannelli, has recourse „as a means of easy money. How the “Dead Enders” are eventually responsible for bringing the gang to justice makes a thrilling story. An excellent supporting programme includes many topical films. _____
