“THEY WON’T FORGET."

That daring and successful producer and director of photoplays, Mervyn Leßoy, sends thraough Warner Bros, his latest sensational movie, “They

Won’t Forget,” to the screen of the Regent Theatre on Wednesday next. Leßoy is the young man who made for the films such trmendous things as “I Am A Fugitive From a Chain* Gang,” “Little Caesar,” “Anthony Adverse” and many others. Leßoy won’t touch a s.tory that is dull or routine. Now he presents one that certainly is neither. “They Won’t Forget” is the film version of “Death In the Deep South,” a novel by Ward Greene that is second in current interest overseas only to “Gone With the Wind” . . . and is far more controversial. There has been endless debate ever since “They . Won’t Forget” was previewed, and it . will probably continue, according to all indications. It’s said to be a real thriller. Mervyn Leßoy directed as well as produced this photoplay, from a screen version adapted by Aben Kandel and Robert Rossen, based on the best-selling novel “Death In the Deep South.”

A play lately produced in America was entitled “Wet Paint.” The author possibly hoped to deter critics from sitting on it. Club swinging has again become popular in the Army. In the war days it was lead swinging.
