RIALTO, AND REGENT, EPSOM
“THE SHOWDOWN” TIIO oilfields of Mexico form the background of the drama, “The Showdown,” to be shown again this evening at the Rial to and Regent (Epsom) Theatres. George Bancroft plays the leading role, that of Cardan, an oil prospector. Then a young New York couple come out to seek oil. Cardan loves her himself, loves her beyond his own life, but he keeps within himself until the girl, at the end of her rope, begs him to take her, protect her, love her; his is the only strength. He is lighting himself when the husband returns. Then because he loves her, Cordan decides to 4 make a great sacrifice for her. He forces her husband to cut cards to see who leaves the camp. Cardan deliberately cheats to lose. “Sporting Goods,” a light comedy starring the popular Richard Dix as a golf suit salesman, will also be shown.
