WAIPAWA REGENT

"Under Two Flags" To-morrow Four great stars, a cast of ten thousand, and a story that flames with the intensity of Sahara.'s burning sancls, bring one of the mightiest spectacledramas of motion picture history to the screen in 20th Century's "Under Two Flags," showing at the Waipawa Regent on Wednesday evening. Topping the star-studded story of flaming love and smouldering rebellion are Rouald Colman, Claudette Colbert, Victor McLaglen and Rosalind Russell, who lead a supporting cast'of forty character stars and numberless extras. The setting of the story is a sun-baked post of empire on the edgor of the Sahara. McLaglen is the liard-bitten commande.^ of a battalion of Legionnaires and his out standing soldier is Ronald Colman. McLaglen is the slave of the tantalising f ' Cigar.ette,," .played by Miss Colbert. When he di'scovors that she has given her heart.to Colman, he comes to hate his subordinate. Colman, however, falls madly in love with the beautiful Rosalind Russell. Sent to a fortress. in the heart of Arab territory, McLaglen persists in puttihg Colman in posts of danger, hoping that his death will remove the obstacle- between himsdlf and Miss Colbert. He recants of his deed, and goes to Colman 's rescue. Just as the entire fort seems doomed, Miss Colbert leads reinforcemonts of legionnaires to their rescue, giving her life to "send the man- she loves back to another woman.
