REGENT THEATRE

"PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.” The outstanding picture "Pride and Prejudice,” which has drawn crowded houses at the Regent Theatre, will be finally shown tonight. “WE WHO ARE YOUNG.” “We Who Are Young," which will head the change of programme tomorrow night, has for its leading players Lana Turner and Robert Shelton. Lana Turner has forsaken the glamour-girl class for that of an earnest, simple and affectionate typiste in a large accountant’s office. When Margie White and Bill Brooks decide to get married, they have to keep their marriage a secret, because the rules of the office are that no married woman may keep her position. It is not long, however, before Mr Beavis —the man with the soul of an adding-machine—discovers their deceit, and. quoting his favourite maxim about, broken rules and their consequences, relieves the girl of her job. The couple, though dismayed, are still not discouraged. The com’”" of a baby complicates matters, and the attendant expense strains their limited resources to the limit. Bill is forced to borrow to pay instalments on the furniture, and news of this transaction gets to the ears of Mr Beavis, who, ever righteous and almost inhuman, will not tolerate such behaviour in one of his staff, and tells Bill to go. There follows a series of disasters which try the endurance of the couple, but in the long run, through the understanding of a millionaire who has risen from the ranks himself, and knows what poverty is, Bill regains his feet. “MARCH OF TIME.” The management, announce that from Saturday, April 26‘, the world famous “March of Time” will be shown regularly at the Regent Theatre.
