RIALTO AND REGENT, EPSOM

“THE RESCUE” “The Rescue,” which is now at the Rialto and Regent, Epsom, Theatres, is an event in motion picture history in several ways. It shows Ronald Colman to the public for the first time in the capacity of an individual star, it brings one of Joseph Conrad’s romances to the screen for the first time in an important production, and it introduces a new film-character by the name of who seems fated to become one of the best-known actresses in Hollywood before she has finished her career. Colman is given the role of the English trader and freebooter in the Java seas, enmeshed in a web of native, intrigue, and torn between his obligations to his native friends and his love for another Englishman’s wife. Colman has never appeared to better advantage than as the commander of the brig “Lightning,” and he rings every change in the emotional potentialities of the role with masterly acting. “Clear the Decks,” Reginald Denny’s latest comedy, is the second big attraction at both theatres. CLICK CLACK CABARET The Click Clack Cabaret will be the scene of another pleasant dance this evening. Among the new features will be an exhibition of the Yale Blues by the ballet troupe trained by Miss Gwenth Macnaughton, and “The Wedding of the Painted Doll,” from “Broadway Melody,” featured by Clyde Howley’s Internationals.
