REGENT THEATRE

j "CONVOY." — ! Tiie brilliant picture. “Convoy," ■ which has packed the Regent Theatre ■ nightly will be finally shown tonight. "THE LADY LN QUESTION." An exciting romance rippling with ! gaiety and laughter, "The Lady in j Question, ’ will be shown tomorrow plight. It is a healthy and hilarious (picture, yet one packed with exciting j situations, with a murder trial as one ■of the high lights. Picture patrons , should not fail to see this excellent ) picture, as it provides the very highest i standard in acting as. well as merit in , picture production. The centre of the : story is a man who serves on a jury , to try a girl charged with murder, and after her acquittal he takes her into ■ his shop without revealing her identity 'to his wife and family. The inevitable 1 happens, and the truth of the girl’s ■ situation leaks out, but in the process I ’.he principal figures go through a series of extraordinary and amusing experiences. The girl was of course innocent. and the son of her benefactor, torn between his love for her and his i knowledge of who she was, has to be ; taught a summary lesson before he finj ally believes in her. “The Lady in i Question" is a tonic and worth seeing. ‘ It shows Brian Aherne and Rita Hay- ■ worth at their best. ( The featurettes will include Air Mail ; News, with the King and Queen inj specting the damage to London's great shopping centre; President Roosevelt’s i speech and scenic and comedy cari toons. the whole making an excellent i programme which should make an im- ' mediate appeal to picture patrons.
