Interesting Pen Impres. sions of the Coming Attractions on ... Hook, Line And Sinker: Playing At Regent Theatre For. screamingly funny situations, Radio Pictures farce, "Hook, Line and Sinker," . co-featuring Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsley at the Regent theatre today and Monday is the season's masterpiece. "Tt is a "straight comedy even fun- nier than "The Cuckoos," and "Half Shot at Sunrise." : "It lifts these comedy kings tnto a class' by thémselves, specialists in comedy, both high and low. ; They are at their best at clowning and they are also at their best when genuine dramatic artistry is required. The story starts with a roar and gains in momentum, which never slacken speed nor volume. The boys start out as insurance salesmen , .. politely steal a whole railroad train . .. butt in on the affairs of a beauti- ful girl . . . take over the hotel she has inherited . , . fill it with society dowagers and their jewels evs and then, when publicity brings all the crooks in creation into the hotel, the plat begins in earnest, The gitl's mother detests Wheeler. Woolsey plots, to marry the mother so he can become the girl's father and give her to Wheeler, The crooks plot to slay the heroes and cop every- thing for themselves, Dorothy Lee, as the daughter, gives her usual vivacious = perform- ance. Jobyna Howland, the tall comediénne of "Dixiana," is a scream. Fine dramatic artists, Ralf Hardlde, George Marion, Natalie Moorhead, Stanley Fields and Bill Davidson, round out an all-star supporting cast for the comedians. "THE BACHELOR FATHER" If you can't laugh your head off with safety, leave it home before gO J to, see Matfion Davies' new talkie which) be a gala Easter weck attra the Regent next Tuesday nesday. ; This hilarious Metso A- Mayer feature is strictly a. laughing matter. It starts with a guffaw and ends with hysterics. The locale and characters being practically 100 per cent British, Miss Davies is a harem-scarem pro- duct of Hogan's Alley: who is trans- planted, as it were, upon an aristo- cratic' estate in England 'where a goumpy' baronet, who believes he is her her father by a distant marriage, tries" to' make' a lady-sand a nd one--of her. She rebels at almost everything that transpires except in the case of an incipient romance with the baronet's personable young at- torney... =... % C. Aubrey Smith, distinguished British stage veteran, who created the role on the stage, repeats his adroit performance on the sereen and adds much merriment and joy to his characterization, Ralph Forbes, as the young bar- rister, supplies the romance for the picture, which was capably directed by Robert Z. Leonard of "The Divor- cee" fame, Others in the sterling supporting cast are Guinn Williams, Nena Quartaro, Doris Lloyd, David Torrence, Ray Milland, Edgar Nor- members of the cast are Britishers. "INSPIRATION" From gorgeous creations, exquisite toilettes and lavish surroundings, Greta Garbo goes to threatbare cos- tumes, unkemptness and squalor in "Inspiration," her latest Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer talking picture is coming to the Regent theatre next Thursday Thursday and Friday, The change is not a gradual one but comes with a dramatic sudden- ness as the central plot of the story reaches its crucial point, The story was written especially for the Swedish star by Gene Mw key and depicts a romantic episode in the life of a Paris model.
