REGENT THEATRE.

"The Green Light."

"The Green Light," which will be£in tomorrow at the Regent Theatre, is in many ways a remarkable film. Apart from the magnificent acting, of the principal players, this Warner Brothers production is notable-for- the depth, of its story, this being the work of Lloyd C. Douglas, author of "Magnificent Obsession." The central role of "Green Light" is played by Errol Flynn, who appeared with success in. "Captain Blood" and "The Charge of. the Light Brigade." In those films he displayed his ability in handling dramatic roles, arid in this, picture 'he is given full opportunity in this direction. His part is that of a clever young surgeon who learns that in the career of every man there are times when for a while he must pause and wait, so to speak, for the "green'light.1 * Sir .Cedric Hardwicke gives a w6nderful portrayal of an old man who endeavours to explain this philosophy to younger people. Dr; Page, the .character represented by Flynn,'assumes the blame for the death of a wealthy woman. Later he meets her daughter, played by Anita Louise, with whom he falls in love. As she considers that he killed her mother, ■ he departs to a fever-ridden district where, in an endeavour to find a vaccine for the disease, his life is endangered. The scenes which follow are intensely dramatic, fine work being contributed by Margaret Lindsay and Walter AbeL
