REGENT THEATRE
“HE STAYED FOR BREAKFAST.”
The current programme headed by “He Stayed For Breakfast,” will be finally shown tonight.
“COME LIVE WITH ME.”
With James Stewart and Hedy Lamarr sharing romantic honours in one of the most interesting films to be shown this year, “Come Live With Me,” which will be shown tomorrow at the Regent Theatre. Seldom has Hollywood produced a story so well fitted for its choice of stars. The plot deals with the plight of a beautiful Austrian refugee who marries a penniless young author in order to obtain a quota number and thus prevent deportation to her native Austria. The complications which develop from the marriage make for extremely amusing entertainment. As the young author who finally decides to cease dreaming up plots and write from actual experience, Stewart is superb. His scene in the office of publisher lan Hunter is one of the high lights of his screen career. Miss Lamarr as the girl caught in the web of indecision plus romance reveals a new side to her glamorous personality. She is real, human, and sympathetic, and does a grand bit of work throughout the entire film. In support of the stars is a noteworthy cast headed by lan Hunter who turns ■ in his usual dependable characterisation as the publisher who is certain he has an option on Miss Lamarr’s heart until he receives the manuscript of a novel written by Stewart. Verree Teasdale, as Hunter’s wife, gives an excellent interpretation to a small role. Others in the cast include Donald Meek, Ann Codee, and King Baggot.
