"FAST COMPANY."

The Regent Theatre management has suicided in getting "Fast Company," an ali-talkle picture, which will commence screening at the Regent Theatre to-morrow. It is full of baseball thrills, and full also of uproarious comedy and bright romance. The dialogue is described as being remarkably clear.

He falls into the fast company of L^rnV , S°me Crafty eambters. and he almost ruins his own and his team's chances for victory on the day of the final game of the worlds series when something happens to change the whole aspect of the plot. The night before the deciding game Oakie and Gallagher attend, a party in New York, which Evelyn and her. actress-partner, Gwen Lee, are civing.
