"LOST hobizon." That which is one of the raost important screen events of the year takes place at the Regent Theatre to-night, where Frank Capra's eupreme directorial effort, "Last Horizon," makes its bow. Starring Ronald Colman, and teaturing Edward, Everett Horton, H. B. Warner( Jane Wyatt, Margo, John Howard, Thomas Mitchell, Isabel Jewell, and Sam Jaffe, the picture is an adaptation by Robert Biskin of James Hilton 's celebrated novel of the eame name. Briefly, the story of "Lost Horizon ' ' concerns five persona who are kidnapped in an aeroplane in China, and fiown deep into the hearF'of Forbidden Tibet. Picked up by a caravan headed by a mystic and elderly Chinese, they are eecorted to what is perhaps the most unusual place on the face of the earth — the lamasery of Shangri-La. Here, closeted securely by mountains impenetrable to the uninitiated, is a setting of indeseribable beauty and sarenity, peopled by members of the strangest cult of modern times. Romance and adventure f all to the bewildered kidnap vietims, and eoon, all but one surrender to the utter contentment and rare loveliness that is Shangri-La.
