REGENT THEATRE
“CRACKED NUTS.” The final screening will take place tonight of the double feature programme, ‘Cracked Nuts” and "Mr Dynamite.” ‘‘BLOSSOMS IN THE DUST.” For the first time in the history of the motion picture, a living woman selected the star she wanted to recreate her life on the screen. The woman is Mrs Edna Gladney, of Fort Worth, superintendent of the Texas Children’s Home and Aid Society. The star is Greer Garson, who plays Mrs Gladney in "Blossoms in the Dust,” Metro-Goldwyn-Mayei- picture co-starring Walter Pidgeon and which will be shown on Saturday night at the Regent Theatre. When Mrs Gladney, who has found happy homes for more than 2000 babies, learned that the studio was interested in making a picture inspired by her life, she immediately named Miss Garson as her choice for the role. Here is drama at its mightiest, cut from the same heart-warming pattern that made "Boys Town” one of the screen's most memorable human classics.
