REGENT

To-night "Mystery Sea Raider," Henry Wilcoxon, Carole Landis, Onslow Stevens. Is this the Yon Luckner plan? Based on a story taken from to-day's headlines —a thrilling tale of present day sea warfare! The secret agents of the sea! Amazing, unbelievable adventures of enemy craft luring victims with fake distress calls and sending them to the bottom with ruthless fury! Here is a picture of inescapable timeliness —sensational timeliness —the most thrilling screen fare offered in months. "World in Flames" Sensational Special! 55 stirring minutes with Paramount cameramen in the thick of it! Spain, China, the Rhineland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Munich,. Poland, Norway, France, the Baltic, the Lowlands—every major event of the past 10 years, culminating in "The Battle of Britain.".

GRAND To-night "The Little Adventuress" Edith Fellows, Richard Fiske, Jacqueline Wells, Cliff Edwards. A picture full of raring thrills, set to the tempo of galloping hoofs. A thoroughbred—every inch of her —in a film that's honey—every foot of it! "The Little Adventuress" describes the efforts of a young orphan who, upon inheriting a trick horse, attempts to make an asset of it. "Murder in the Air" Ronald Reagan, John Litel, Lya Lys, Eddie Foy Jnr. Warner Bros' espionage and sabotage stories are always interesting and virile. In "Murder in the Air," an international spy ring so much interests itself in a United States navy dirigible engaged in mock manoeuvres that it gets one of its agents aboard to steal the plans of a secret device described.as an "inertia projector."
