NEW REGENT

‘WAY OF ALL FLESH” “The Way of All Flesh,” the first picture to be made in America by the famous Continental star, Emil Jannings, will be the chief attraction at the Hew Regent Theatre to-night. In this story Jannings plays the part of August Schilling, a trusted

bank cashier, for 20 years, zealous at his work and living a wholesome life, happy with his wife and six children. He is a softhearted father, even more kind to his children than is his wife. He lives a quiet and wellregulated life, satisfied with his lot and secure in ms position and ordered routine. Suddenly he is ordered by the bank to go to Chicago and sell some bonds. In the train he comes into contact with a blonde, who, seeing the bonds, decides to take an interest in him. He is unaccustomed to wine, and the realisation that what he does will not be discovered makes him more free until he gets into a round of revelry. One morning he is shocked by the loss of his bonds, and in a fight he kills a man. Feeling that this, the loss of his bonds and the betrayal of his wife are too much to face, he sinks down to the depths and goes through life as a derelict. Included in the supporting cast are Belle Bennett as his wife, Phyllis Haver and Donald Keith. A full programme of supporting pictures will also be presented, including a Regent Gazette, cartoon, and comedy. Leslie V. Harvey, at the organ, will play “Largo” (Handel) and “Spring Song” (Mendelssohn). Arthur G. Frost and the Regent Operatic Orchestra will play as an entr’acte, “Evolution of Dixie” (Lake). CLICK CLACK CABARET DANCING TO-MORROW * The Click Clack Cabaret will be open again to-morrow for the afternoon tea dance, three o’clock until five, and for the usual Saturday gala night. Walter Smith’s orchestra, whose reputation for dance music is so well known, will supply the music. With a perfect floor and beautiful surroundings, a thoroughly enjoyable time can be spent. John Monk Saunders, author of Paramount's air epic, “Wings,” has signed a new contract with Paramount. Harold Lloyd is considering production of a college picture at his next for Paramount, following “Speedy.”

‘'Abie’s Irish Rose,” which was produced by Paramount from Anne Nichols’s famous story, is completed. It is announced that Paramount are planning to make a sequel to “Abie.” and Victor Fleming has already been selected as director for the production. “Abie’s Irish Rose” will be released in New Zealand shortly,
