REGENT THEATRE PROGRAMME.
"TUNDRA" A DRAMATIC THEME. Screening to-night at 8 p.m. at the Regent Theatre, New Plymouth, is an outstanding picture. "Tundra." It is laid in the Alaskan wilderness and depicts the. strange and thrilling trek of a flying doctor who, when on his way to an isolated plague-ridden settlement, crashes in the sea and the plane is wrecked on an iceberg. He escapes and starts out on the long journey back to civilisation. His only companions are two bear cubs that he finds, and these two bundles of fur provide many a laugh with their antics. Night and day new dangers confront Del Cambre as he toils through dark forests where hordes of wild animals resent the traveller's intrusion on their domain. Wolves howl dismally, the elements rage, starvation menaces him, yet with his two faithful cubs at his heels he persists in his frightful march towards his destined goal. This picture is outstanding for its settings and scenery, which is grand and beautiful. "Private Detective." starring Jane Wyman, Dick Foran, Gloria Dickson and Maxie Rosenbloom. is the associate feature. The picture is a gay murder mystery filled with plenty of laughs and plenty of thrills.
