REGENT THEATRE

"GREEN LIGHT." Not so long ago "Green Liglit" stood at the head of the list of bestselling novels of its season. Now, a Cosmopolitan production, ' ' Green Light," which screens .to-night at the Regent Tbeatre as a First National release, steps into the front rank of distinctive motion pictures. Errol Flynn, the handsome Irish romantic who won such a smashing triumph in "Captain Blood," his very first pieture, is the star. Instead of a swashbuckling pirate, this time, in "Green Light," he is a heroie young doetor, who sacrifices his promising career in a great city by taking on his own shoulders the blame for an operation bungled by another. In search of some way to make himself useful to society and to prove to the girl he loves by deeds what he cannot in honour prove by words, he goes to an obscure mountain laboratory and searches for a serum that will prevent deadly epidemics. Almost at the sacriGce of his life, he finds it, and returns to fame and love, with his professional ciame cleared of any and all blame. Flynn, whose performanees in "Captain Blood" and "The Charge of the Light Brigade" won him such great acclaim, rises to eveu greater dramatic heights in "Green Light," proving himself one of the greatest roruantic "finds" of the past few years in the rolc of a young surgeon.
