REGENT, EPSOM
“Blackmail,” the much-discussed British talking picture success, which is now at the Regent Theatre, Epsom, has fulfilled all the golden opinions expressed about it in the British Press. Perhaps its main title to leadership in the talkie world is that “Blackmail” has forced its way into a long run in New York. The dialogue in it is of splendid clarity, but its main novelty is its clever use of sound effects. These represent a distinct advance technically on anything registered by our American cousins. The treatment is fresh and full of surprises. “Woman to Woman,” starring Betty Compson and George Barraud, is being shown as a second attraction.
