REGENT THEATRE
“KISS THE BOYS GOOD-BYE." With five new tunes added to . a story that was already famed for its merriment,'“Kiss the Boys Good-bye,” the Paramount film version of the Broadway stage comedy, will be shown tonight. Fast action and clever dialogue combine to make the picture one of the gayest seen for some time. The story concerns a beautiful southern girl with stage aspirations, who unsuccessfully tries to get an opportunity to show her talents on Broadway. She returns to the south when she hears that a Broadway stage director is on his way down below the Mason-Dixon line to search for “the flower of the southland” to play the lead in his new show. How she permits him to “discover” her, a girl with natural singing, dancing and acting talents, without ever having taken a lesson in her life, makes the rest of the hilarious story. The hoax becomes even more amusing when she is brought to New York, and humorous sequences follow in rapid succession. As Cindy Lou Bethany, the southern girl, Mary Martin gives a fine performance, and Don Ameche is excellent.
