REGENT THEATRE
"Summer Storm," which opens today at the Regent Theatre, is a stark, intenseiy dramatic story of a Russian girl whose beauty destroys the men whom first it favours. Ruthless, fickle, greedy for wealth and position,% Linda Darnell, as Olga, gives a superb performance as an illiterate peasant girl who wrecks the lives of three other persons — and inevitably, her own. Olga marries Urbenin, overseer on the estate of Count Volsky. to get out of the wretched hovel in which she lives with her besotted' father. On the night of her wedding/ she fo*rces Judge PetrofE into a compromising situation so that his fiancee will see them and break off their engagement. Subsequently she turns from Petrofi to Count Volsky, who is better ab^ to supply her with the finery she covets. During a shooting party, Olga is stabbed. She dies without revealing the identity of her murderer. Urbenin, her husband, is wrongfully convicted and sent away for life. The truth cornes out in a sudden, smashing clamax. . Selected supportjng programme.
