REGENT THEATRE
"The Last Outpost" is to be shown filially tonight at the. Regent Theatre. As the handsome commander of an armoured car squadron who is captured by the enemy, and subsequently helps to defeat a native uprising and avert a flank attack on Mesopotamia, Cary Grant is admirably cast, and most convincing. Claude Rains acts the part of the British intelligence officer outstandingly. His part is a difficult one, as the character portrayed is strikingly like that of the mysterious Lawrence of Arabia. The third side of the strange triangle, the nurse, who is the wife of the intelligence officer and in love with the armoured car captain, is played by Gertrude Michael, who gives a very fine portrayal of her role. The New Zealander, Colin Tapley, has a prominent part. Some of the scenes in the picture fall not far short of the magnificent. The supports include the latest newsreels, a musical novelty showing the progress of popular music for the last century, a Betty Boop cartoon, and a very fine Christmas featurette. The next change will be "Barbary Coast," a gripping tale of the early gold rush days of San Francisco.
