NEW REGENT
“CHANG” Ever has man striven against the jungle. From the dawn of time, man has hacked his way, made a clearing, and begun his fight against the jungle. The clearing has ofttimes grown, a village lias come, and then perhaps a city, and then the jungle wins, and a civilisation that was, is destroyed before the encroachments of nature. In the jungle we meet Kru, a Lao tribesman, who is hacking a clearing for himself and family. The trees are felled, and because wild beasts take no heed of man or beast, Kru’s home is built on stilts. On the tiny clearing, in the almost impenetrable jungle, Kru and his family hope to live. The adventures of Kru and his family admirably portrayed in “Chang,” are inexpressibly exciting. A special musical presentation is presented by -Maurice Guttridge and the Regent Operatic Orchestra. Leslie V. Harvey, at the Wurlitzer, receives enthusiastic applause for his rendering of “The Kashmiri Song” and a novelty film entitled “The Organ Lesson.*’ A strong supporting pictorial programme, besides a short comedy,
“Easy Chrves,” featuring Billy Dooley’ also includes a Regent Review of topical events, a Dinky Dooley Cartoon and a beautiful scenic of old Japan.
