REGENT THEATRE
“A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN.” Patterned along the same lines as “The Under-Pup,” a pattern which proved a hit and established Gloria Jean ps a star, Universal’s “A Little Bit of Heaven” showing tonight at the Regent Theatre. Six other players from the casts of the earlier success are present in the coming feature, including C. Aubrey Smith, as Gloria’s “Grandpa”; Nan Grey, as her older sister; Butch and Buddy, Billy Gilbert and Frank Jenks. In addition the cast includes Robert Stack, Hugh Herbert as Gloria’s "Pop,” Stuart Erwin, Eugene Pallette, Nana Bryant, Tommy Bond and others. The new picture presents Gloria as an East Side girl who becomes a radio singing star. Her rise to fame causes family troubles solved only after Gloria - “loses” her voice and temporarily relinquishes her career. Miss Jean sings five numbers. The featurettes are exceptional and include the latest “March of Time” in which the Royal Air Force is reviewed in thrilling manner. Exclusive shots never screened before, of aerial combat, raids on Germany, etc., are featured as are most of the names famous in Britain’s great fight for supremacy. The latest Air Mail News and an absorbing British Bureau of Information number complete the programme.
