REGENT NAVAL BARRAGE. OF LAUGHTER 10,000 tons of mistaken identity —the biggest case of mistaken identity on record—provides the theme of the Michael Balcon A.T.P. comedy, "Sailors Three," starring Tommy Trindcr, Britain's new lilm funster, which comes to the Regent Theatre on AVednesdaj'. This gigantic error is explained in the fact that the three jolly Jack Tars in the British 'Navy, leave it to the last minute to return to their ship, after shore leave, and scramble on to a German pocket battleship by mistake. AfLer numerous complications and misadventures, they succeed in turning their colossal error into one of the most terri/ic feats ever performed. The real reason for the mistake of-the '"Sailors Three" is too much celebrating during shore leave. But really they are not to blame for getting drunk. Circumstances are entirely responsible, and some of the most amusing scenes of the film shows how, very much against their wills they are plied with considerable more drink than they can take. However, they finally succeed in getting back safely back aboard ship, but of course, the wrong ship, the Nazi battelship, "Ludendorf." Claude Hulbert, Jack's Brother, and Michacl Wilding are the other two of the "Sailors Three" which is a hurricanc of hilarity on the ocean waves. t
