REGENT THEATRE
“TORRID ZONE.” Tonight’s programme at the Regent Theatre brings together James Cagney and Pat O’Brien, stars of many a past success, and Ann Sheridan, in “Torrid Zone,” Warner Bros.’ new comedy romance, crammed with actions, thrills and excitement. As the title indicates, “Torrid Zone” has a tropical setting, down in the banana country of South America, where the big fruit companies own and manage vast plantations. O’Brien and Cagney are cast as rough and ready plantation bosses, while Miss Sheridan portrays a singer who comes to the tropics because she figures redheads will be more of a novelty there. Her adeptness at dealing cards is also an asset. When O’Brien attempts to have her shipped back to the States, Cagney, who is constantly feuding with him, helps her to stay, and from then on finds himself saddled with her.
Splendid featurettes include the latest Air Mail News, a glorious all-colour scenic study, another True Adventure and a Porky Cartoon. Plans are at Nimmo’s and the theatre.
