REGENT THEATRE
“SUSPENSE” Thursday, Friday. “Suspense,” the? first million dollar film produced by Monogram, will open its local engagement at the Regent Theatre on Thursday, and marks an auspicious entry of this company into the ranks of “A” producers. The picture should create a veritable sensation, and perhaps inaugurate a new vogue in screen entertainment. Though it features elaborate and especially beautiful ice-skating numbers—performed by the incomparable Belita - —the tense drama of its plot overshadows its more spectacular aspects. Here is a picture which can hold its own in competition with the best product of any studio. And Belita is only one of the stars of this unusual production, since equal prominence is given to Barry Sullivan, Bonita - Granville, Albert Dekker and Eugene Pallette. The established talents of these time tried players combine to give the picture an utterly convincing quality.
