NEW REGENT
“THE FLAG LIEUTENANT” Not only is there an Australian in the featured cast of the Paramount British release, “The Flag Lieutenant,” in the person of Dorothy Seacombe, but the battleship which forms a background for most of the action, in the picture is also closely associated with Australia. This ship is the H.M.S. Tiger, which at the time of the great war was a companion ship of the H.M.A.S. Australia. “The Flag Lieutenant” stars, in addition to Miss Seacombe, Henry Edwards, a distinguished British actor. The picture will have its final screening at the New Regent Theatre to-morrow.
The prologue presented this week at the Regent surpasses anything ever seen in Auckland. Colin Crane renders two numbers admirably, and Miss Cecil Hall’s prize ballet with the solo danseuse, Miss Isobelle Brooks, continues to bo encored nightly. Mr. Maurice Guttridge’s Operatic Orchestra plays some wonderful patriotic music especially arranged by Mr. Guttridge for this picture. Mr. Eddie Horton at the Mighty Wurlitzer renders as a solo “Land of Hope and Glory” and other selections.
