GENT THEATRE
“THE LADY EVE.” When a beautiful cardsharp marks a handsome, rich young man as her next victim, without reckoning on love taking a hand, there's danger of her heart being trumped! What happens in this situation is the story that will be told when Paramount's new comedy, “The Lady Eve,” starring Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda, which will be shown at the Regent Theatre tonight. “The Lady Eve” is a brilliant picture. Changing his pace for this picture from the grimly realistic roles he has been playing for the past three years, Fonda is seen in “The Lady Eve” as a naive, rich young man who falls for a beautiful girl, but who is disillusioned when he learns she’s a cardsharp. She masquerades later as a titled Englishwoman, “The Lady Eve,” and succeeds in making him fall in love with her all over again. Of course, Fonda doesn’t know that the cardsharp and "The Lady Eve” are one and the same person. Featured in the impressive cast of the latest Sturges picture are Charles Coburn, Eugene Pallette, William Demarest, Eric Blore, Martha O’Driscoll and Luis Alberni, in addition to many other well-known film players. There is an excellent supporting programme. Plans are at Nimmo’s and the Theatre.
