NEW REGENT

NEW PICTURES AND DANCING This evening will see the final performance of the current programme at ;he New Regent Theatre, comprising :he breezy comedy, “Hot News,” starrng Bebe Daniels and the “Round the World” dancing and music show. Two big pictures head the pictorial side of the new programme to-morrow. Phe first of these is the latest Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton comedy. California hills and canyons, near Hollywood, furnish the background for Ihe new melodramatic comedy of mountaineer life, “The tiig Killing.” [n selecting the exteriors, care was taken to choose scenery «similar to that >f the mountain locale portrayed. The log cabin homes of the warring families were constructed with great mention to detail and are said to be perfect reproductions of homes in the section of the mountainous United States in which the picture is laid. The story deals with an inter-family feud in this backwoods section, a love affair which is its cause and a pair of circus performers, posing as sharpshooters, who are its cure. The second big picture to-morrow stars the beautiful actress, Esther Ralston, in "an inside story of life in a travelling circus. This is entitled “The Sawdust Paradise.” * New dancing, singing and music will be presented in “The Evolution of Jazz,” a novelty item in silhouette. Stella Lamond, a dainty singing soubrette from Sydney, will make her first appearance, and Freddie Hodges Will presfent his “Dance Aerobaticiue.” Another surprise will be the novelty satire, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Mr. Maurice Guttridge is again in charge of the music, and Mr. Maurice Diamond, of the singing and dancing.
