THE REGENT.
“ROMANCE IN PARIS.” A new star, with a genius for quiet comedy and high voltage romance has flashed on the cinema horizon. He is Fernand Gravet, screen idol of the Continent, whose first American picture, “Romance in Paris,” which will be shown at the Regent Theatre tonight. His fame abroad is understandable after seeing this picture. M. Gravet is handsome and tall. Add to that masterful acting, a warm and friendly personality, an excellent speaking and singing voice and one can understand the elation of Mervyn Leßoy when he signed him to a contract last year. In “Romance in Paris” M. Gravet plays the role of a wealthy, spendthrift ex-King Alfred VII who tumbles madly in love with an independent little American chorus girl, portrayed by Joan'Blondell. There are some good shorts to be shown including “Card Tricks,” colourtour adventures and a colour cartoon, “Fella with the Fiddle.”
