THE REGENT
“A YANK AT OXFORD.” There are few productions with the appeal of “A Yank at Oxford,” which is showing at the Regent Theatre. Scenically it is superb, and the atmosphere of the institution is felt, though in this case it is the frolics and spirit of youth that seize the audience. Robert Taylor, Maureen O’Sullivan and Lionel Barrymore head a convincing cast, in which Griffiths Jones plays an important part. It is the story of Lee Sheridan, from a college in the Middle West, sent to Oxford, filled to the brim with American ideals and enthusiasms. Quite a lion in his home town, where he is the best all-round athlete, he falls foul of British conservatism in a railway carriage, where he is suavely trapped into making a complete ass of himself by fellow-undergraduates. There is not a dull moment after this. Through his sprinting and rowing, and breezy, straightforward ways, the works himself into the goodwill of his fellowstudents.
