REGENT THEATRE
''ANTHONY ADVERSE," TO-NIGHT "Anthony Adverse" screens at the Regent Theatre to-night. The picture follows the romantic adventures of Anthony Adverse through five countries, across the seas and over three continents. For mammoth sets, for 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 human interest and sheer unadulterated entertainment, this picture is uusurpassed. But all this, while f ull of colour, is but a background for a drama of human life, its loves and hates, its hopes and its disappointments ; its desires and its passions ; its vain and futile struttings and its vast achievements. Fredric March has given the screen some wonderful portrayals jn .the past but never has he risen to the heights of dramatic fire as in the title role of tnis picture. His Anthony is a living breathing person, stepping out of a book iiito feal Iife on the screen. He js ably supported by Olivia de Havilland.
