REGENT THEATRE
“THE COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO
The story of “The Count of Monte Cristo” might almost be said to be universally known, and all who have read the story of Alexandre Dumas with pleasure will find even greater pleasure in the storj’ as it will be presented on the screen of the Regent tonight. The picture is a magnificent production and those playing in the title roles have caught the spirit of Dumas’s story in a way that makes the adventures of the young French sailor and his sweetheart live. Dumas wove many characters into his story, and they are all included in the picture, even to those whom Dumas kept in the background, Napoleon and Louis XVIII. The producer has avoided heaviness by making use of his characters to provide a lighter touch here and there. The excellent acting does more than tell the story; it brings the adventures of Edmund Dante to life and to a high standard of entertainment. , The leading roles are taken by Robert Donat and Elissa Landi. The supporting features are interesting.
