REGENT THEATRE
“MAGIC BULLET.” The Regent Theatre’s attraction, “The Story of Dr. Ehrlich’s Magic Bullet,” will be finally shown tonight. “NO TIME FOR COMEDY.” Audiences will have their first opportunity to see “No Time For Comedy,” the laugh hit of the new film season, when the James Stewart-Rosa-lind Russell co-starring picture will open an engagement tomorrow night at the Regent Theatre. Based on S. N. Behrman’s New York stage hit, “No Time For Comedy” tells the highly hilarious story of what happens to a playwright famous for his comedies when he falls under the influence of a blonde who specialises in inspiring artists to give the world a message. Among the things that happen are a rousing fight between the playwright’s wife and the blonde, a near romance between the playwright’s discarded wife and the blonde's discarded husband, and a flop that turns out to be a big success. James Stewart is an engaging scamp as the errant writer, Rosalind Russell is his knowing wife, Genevieve Tobin, the blonde menace, and Charles Ruggles her millionaire husband. Allyn Joslyn has a high comedy role as a harried stage director; Clarence Kolb plays a yesman producer and dusky Louise Beavers plays the theatrical maid who sees all and tells all.
