REGENT THEATRE

“REMEMBER.” At a time when the world needs so desperately to laugh, one of the most completely satisfying entertainments of the season is “Remember?” a picture patrons will not soon forget, starring Robert Taylor and Greer Garson, with Lew Ayres, and opening tonight at the Regent Theatre. Flawlessly cast, the picture was given the deft direction of Norman Z. McLeod, who made “Topper” pictures, and a fast action screen play by McLeod and Corey Ford, national magazine writer and humourist. Dealing with the trials and tribulations of modern married life, the story is highlighted by bright dialogue, hilarious comedy situations and a warmly human I romantic theme. Taylor has never been seen to better advantage than in the ’ role of an ambitious advertising executive. wrapped up in his job. who falls in love with his best pal’s fiancee “at sight,” complicating all their lives. A delightful surprise for moviegoers who were entranced by her memorable performance in “Good-bye, Mr. Chips,” Miss Garson exhibits a rare talent for comedy and is as vivacious and dashing a modern girl as she was a gentle and charming “Mrs. Chips.” _ Ayres rounds out a three-some that is doing something every minute with never a dull moment. The story tells of two young people who rush into marriage because they can’t help themselves, are separated by misunderstandings, and then get a miraculous second chance of which they take full advantage. New York is the fast-moving background, with the Worlds Fair as one of its varied settings and a fox hunt ■ with a love scene played in a mud | puddle that is the funniest seen in many months. It is a picture which can be thoroughly recommended for its all round excellence and patrons should not miss it, especially those who appreciate good comedy. Outstanding supporting subjects include the latest views of the Anzacs in Egypt, a brilliant “Crime Doesn't Pay” number, a Pete Smith specialty and a gorgeous all-colour cartoon. Plans are at lhe shop of Messrs. Steel & Bull and the theatre. The following arc among the coming attractions: "All This and Heaven Too" (Charles Boyer and Bette Davis) and 1 “Pride and Prejudice" (Greer Garson and Laurence Ollivier).
