NEW REGENT

“DIVORCE MADE EASY" “The Pagan.” John Russell's celebrated story of the South Seas, with Kampn Novarro as the hero, is the attraction now playing at the New Regent Theatre. This new Metro- ; Goldwyn-Mayer picture was filmed in j its entirety in the islands. it is a J vivid drama of a young islander's , struggle against the encroachments 01 ; civilisation, and has a charming love ; story, punctuated by battles with I sharks and other thrills of the tropics, • as details. The second feature. ‘Divorce Mane . Easy,** provides Douglas MacTean with just the right material for tiis l happy faculty of making people laug.i. It provides humorous episodes, humorous “gags” and humorous dia- j logue—all funny in themselves, but all vastly funnier in the hands of this j capable young man, this dapper youth s with the' ever-ready smile. Marie Prevost and Johniiy Arthur as the wife and her plotting husband. , prove to be excellent all-talking picture actors. Additional support of : high calibre is furnished by Dot j Farley as the aunt, Jack Duffy as the 1 intrusive old uncle and Frances Tee J as the sweetheart of Doug who cannot . understand what all the “comprcmis- J mg” is about.
