ON THE SCREEN
REGENT By thousands from the land, from the sea, and from the. sky. a tiny outpost was battered for nearly a fortnight, until the tiny garrison was forced to surrender finally to the yellow hordes of Japanese. It has at last been told—the startling and vivid story of the heroic defence of "Wake Island." To those who love the brave, to those who love adventure, action, and the. courage of fighting men, here is a picture never to forget. This story is brought vividly to the screen of the local Regent Theatre next Saturday, Monday and Tuesday;, and the leading roles arc played by those two actors who thrilled, last night's audiences in "Beau Geste" Brian Donlevy and Robert Preston. "Wake Island" is a film that will go down in. the' entertainment world as; an epic of courage, and adventure. Perhaps one of the most outstanding supporting programmes ever screened, at the Regent Theatre includes a March of Time, latest overseas newsree.l, "Speaking of Animals," "A Ministry of Information" and the latest of the series of "This is America."
