THE REGENT.
“THE GO-GETTER.” That irascible but lovable old seafaring character created by Peter B. Kyne—Cappy Ricks —comes to life on the screen in the Warner Bros.’ Cosmopolitan comedy-drama, “The GoGetter,” at the Regent Theatre tonight. Charles Winninger, well remembered as Cap’n Andy of both stage and screen versions of “Show Boat,” plays Cappy in this delightful movie. He isn’t the “go-getter.” That individual is the tall, handsome Irish star George Brent, who is in love with Cappy’s daughter, portrayed by Anita Louise. George and Anita carry the romantic interest of the show. It is an exceptionally well balanced cast that portrays this famous yarn of Mr Kyne’s. Apart from the starring trio, there are such players . as Henry O’Neill, John Eldredge, Joseph Crehan, Gordon Oliver, Eddie Acuff, Herbert Rawlinson, Mary Treen, Helen Lowell, Helen Valkis and Minerva Urecal. The first half comprises two colour subjects, a cartoon, a colourtour adventure, and “Peeping Penguins,” and also world news reels. Altogether it is an excellent programme.
