The Theatres
REGENT. Don't miss these screenings Monday and Tuesday ''If I Were King" Ronald Colman, Frances Dee. Flaming adventure . . • Glorious romance . . . The crowning achievement of two great men. For here is a picture that outshines anything either Ronald Colman or Frank Lloyd, the producer, have previously done. Delightful lines, delightfully delivered— thrills and love—comedy and tender pathos . . . The characters are living people. A picture you have been longing for. It has everything. Francois Villon, Paris vagabond, woos and wins the Royal Princess Katharine. He loots the King's storeroom to feed the starving populace. He is made Grand Constable of France by a capricious King. As a statesman he exposes the King's enemies, and as a soldier he leads France to victory. Ronald Colman as Villon is superb. Combining broad scope with mass action, intense hatreds with great loves, the whole theme has been moulded with a master's touch into a masterpiece of celluloid beauty that will appeal to all ages of all classes. GRAND. Monday and Tuesday Ep 13 and final episode of the popular "Red Barry" serial. "The Mystery of Mr Wong" Boris Karloff. Boris Karloff, one of Hollywood's foremost character actors distinguishes himself once more in the part of Mr Wong, detective, in the second of the series, "The Mystery of Mr Wong." Mr Wong plays a lone, hand to find the killer in the most thrilling mystery you've ever enjoyed. "Racketeers of the Range" George O'Brien.
