THE REGENT.
“THE AWFUL TRUTH.” “The Awful Truth” will be finally shown tonight at the Regent Theatre. “SMILIN’ THROUGH.” SATURDAY’S PRESENTATION. A deluge of letters from the public has persuaded Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer once more to present Norma Shearer’s immortal dramatic triumph, “Smilin’ Through,” hailed by critics and public alike as one of the greatest photoplays ever made. The return engagement of this film classic, which has such stellar personalities as Fredric March and Leslie Howard sharing honours with Miss Shearer, begins on Saturday at the Regent Theatre and will be shown for 2 days. It is in “Smilin’ Through” that the striking Miss Shearer plays a dual role portraying both the tragic Moonyeen in the hoop-skirted Victorian sequences and Kathleen Sheridan in the modern scenes around which the happier romance of the tale centres. Fredric March and Leslie Howard as heads of her dramatic cast, also have unusual trials in characterisation. In addition to those mentioned above the cast includes O. P. Heggie, Ralph Forbes, Beryl Mercer, David Torrence, Margaret Seddon and Forrester Harvey.
