REGENT THEATRE
“SECOND CHORUS.” Hollywood has always been the birthplace of unexpected and unusual events, but seldom has it sprung a greater surprise than the exuberant swing-comedy, “Second Chorus,” which will be shown at the Regent Theatre tonight. In the picture there is gusty laughter and the tap-tap-tapping of jitterbug feet dancing vicariously with Fred Astaire and Paulette Goddard and keeping time with the music of Artie Shaw and his band. Surprise Number One is Paulette Goddard as Astaire’s new dancing partner. About equally surprising is the complete metamorphosis of Burgess Meredith, who has turned from stark dramatic acting to comedy. The amusing story tells of the rivalry between Astaire and Meredith for the affections of Miss Goddard, whom they have inveigled into becoming the band’s manager. The supporting programme includes the latest March of Time, “Uncle Sam, the Non-Belligerent.” Reserves are at Nimmo’s and the theatre.
