REGENT THEATRE
" ANTHONY ADVERSE," TO-NIGHT "Anthony Adverse" screens at tho Regcnt Theatre to-night. The picturo follows the romantic adventures of Antliony Adverse tbrough five countries, across the seas and over threo continents. For mammbth sets, i'or colourful and picturesque backgrounds, for dynamic action, for the unusual characterisation of its tremendous cast from Fredric March, the star, down to the smallest player, for the glamour ofits romance, its kuman interest and sheer unadulterated entertainment, this picture is unsurpassed, But all this, while full of colour, is but a background for a drama of kuman life, its loves and hates, its hopes and its disappointments ; its. desires and its passions; its vain and futile struttings and its vast acliicveraents. Fredric March has given the screen some wonderful portrayals in the past but never has he i*isen to the heigbts of dramatic fire" as in the title rolc of this picture. His Anthony is a living breatliing- person, stepping out of a book into real life on the screen. He is ably supported by Olivia dc Havilland.
