THE REQENT.
“EBB TIDE” SHOWING TONIGHT. “Ebb Tide,” the first sea story filmed in Technicolour will be shown at the Regent Theatre tonight at 7.45. Taken from a story by Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne, “Ebb Tide” presents the famed European character actor, Oscar Homolka in an American picture for the first time. Homolka lives up to expectations in his characterisation of Captain Thorbecke, a broken sea captain who has lost his ship and papers through drunkenness. He has the knack of making even the worthless Thorbecke a likeable character. His supporting cast is more than the name implies, since it includes Frances Farmer, Ray Milland, Lloyd Nolan and Barry Fitzgerald of the Abbey Players of Dublin. Reserves at W. G. Perry’s, ’phone 2496. TOMORROW’S MATINEE. Of special interest to boys and girls now on holiday is a big Popeye and Western matinee to be held at the Regent tomorrow (Tuesday) at 2 p.m. Jack Carter, the yodelling cowboy will be on the stage and he will perform his famous stockwhip act as well as yodel. Comedies, Popeye and Betty Boop cartoons, and a new Western feature, “Silent Valley,” complete a eally excellent programme.
