REGENT THEATRE
"SPENDTHRIFT" TO-DAT. Top-noteh entertiainment, provided by some of the screen 's best talent in a story neatly combining romanee and humour, marks the new offering of the Regent Theatre, Paramount's "Spendthfift," which screens to-day. Chief roles are carried out by Henry Fonda, Pat Paterson, and Mary Brian. The story introduces Fonda as a polo-player who has run through 23,000,000 dollars by his happy-go-lucky habit of always footing the bill. Broke, he sells a string of polo ponies to ge't to the Kentucky Derby, hoping to make a recoup by winning the race with his' fasf filly. At the Derby he is spotted and landed by Miss Brian. The horse lCses; Fonda 's bride shows herself as a fortune hunter and deserts him after he has spent what is left of his fortune. The youth sets out to make a suecess by getting a job, and the means through which he aecomplishes the end and ftnd romanee close to home — with Miss Paterson — make the plot.
