REGENT THEATRE
“ESCAPE FROM YESTERDAY.” A wild, roistering Cossack from the bleak plains of Russia who tries to transplant his mode of life to rural America and rule, his son’s life by gangster methods forms the exciting central figure of Paramount’s “Escape From Yesterday,” which will be presented tonight at the Regent Theatre, with Akim Tamiroff heading a large cast of popular players. Hard-riding, hard-living and hard-loving, Tamiroff is about to find happiness with his longlost son, when the United States gaols him at Leavenworth as punishment for his bold theft of cattle from government farms. His titanic efforts to effect escape, aided by his son, who becomes an army man, for the purpose, form some of the most exciting sequences filmed in many a season. The picture winds up in a smashing climax, with the bewildered son forced to choose between his duty to his father and his honour as an officer of the army. Leif Erikson has the role of the son, and others in the cast include Frances Farmer, Lynne Overman and Vladimir Sokoloff.
Excellent supporting subjects include the latest Air Mail News, a Paramount Pictorial, a Musical Headliner and the ever popular Popeye in “Mutiny Aint Nice.” The plans are at Nimmo’s and the theatre.
