RIALTO, AND REGENT, EPSOM

“THE FOREIGN LEGION” With a background of a tropical j island and all that this suggests, Sammy Cohen and Ted McNamara, the . incomparable comedians, are now at i the Kialto and Regent, Epsom, J , Theatres,” in "Why Sailors Go i ' W rong.” These boys are taken from a big \ \ city into the jungle and find them- , selves in dangerous situations, containing lions, cannibal chiefs and hula girls. The cannibals are the biggest and ‘ most ferocious men Sammy and ' Ted had ever imagined, and they wear the most elaborate head-dress and carry enormous spears. But the girls are more intriguing, two in particular, for whom the boys brave every danger J against the cannibalistic odds. “The Foreign Legior,” the second feature, is a highly dramatic story of : love and hate, with a large cast, ineluding Norman Kerry, Lewis Stone and Mary Nolan. FINE PICTURES AT BRITANNIA The fine picture, “Trelawney of tlie Wells,” starring Norma Shearer and Ralph Forbes, will be shown at the j Britannia Theatre this evening. It is the romance of Rose Trelawney, pretty and vivacious star of the Wells Theatre, and Arthur Gower, grandson of Sir William Gower. Hardened by custom and upbringing, old Sir William would not allow the marriage of Arthur and Rose. To complicate matters, he had Rose stay in the family mansion. He surrounded her with rules and restrictions that she deliberately disregarded. All the entreaties of Arthur were of no avail, and Rose returned to her former life. Times were hard, and when the theatre closed she faced star- | vation. Arthur guessed her plight and. i although he had left his home the ! day after his sweetheart, he persuaded the baronet to visit her and j give assistance. Sir William received j a very' cold reception from the proud ! Rose, and she rejected his offer. Events move quickly to a surprising and satisfying ending. “Love at Midnight,” the second fea- ! ture, stars Billie Dove in a dramatic * story of French naval officers.
