REGENT THEATRE
“IT STARTED WITH EVE."
A completely new treatment of songs on the screen is heard in Deanna Durbin's new Universal film, “It Started With Eve,” co-starring Charles Laughton, which will be shown at the Regent Theatre tonight. Deanna Durbin sings and plays her own piano accompaniment, and the custom of bringing in an orchestral background whether or not an orchestra appears on the screen has been discarded. Deanna Durbin’s new role is that of an ambitious young singer who is introduced into the home of a New York multi-millionaire, and who remains in the hope that he can further her musical career. She also becomes romantically involved with his son, played by Robert Cummings. The picture is probably the best in which Deanna Durbin has appeared. “It Started With Eve,” had long runs in the big centres. There is an excellent programme, including a “March of Time” —“Peace by Adolf Hitler.”
