REGENT THEATRE.

, Coming to tha Regent Theatre next Saturday is an all-talking screaming comedy "Tho Cocoanuts." The locale is Florida. Tho story or satire is one which ridicules with much hilarity the real estate boom. A debutaute is "wintering" in one of the exclusive hotels with her socially ambitious aunt. Aud tho girl anU a poor hotel clerk fall madly in love. So of course, tho hotel clerk falls for the get-rich-quick scheme with dire results, until tlio happy ending! A slight plot, like all musical comedies. Tho picture Introduces the Ztcgfeld star, Mary Eaton, and the Irresistible antics of the four Wan Brothers, who are considered by many to be the funniest entertainers on the stage to-day. Besides his inimitable crowning, Harpo plays the harp. Although he violates all accepted technique, Harpo is considered to bo one of the Hiiest harp players in tho world. Chico, also an excellent comedian, is an accomplished pianist, employing an unusual fluger technique that always causes much laughter. Groucho, considered by many to be the funniest of the four, is supplied with most of the comedy lines. He never smiles. Zcppo, the 3'oungest aud handsomest, also is a clever comedian. Mary Baton and Oscar Shaw, each of them singing exquisitely, supply tho romance. These two most recently appeared together on the New York stage in Ziegfleld's "Five O'clock Girl." They sing the featured song numbers composed by Irving Berlin.
