REGENT THEATRE
“VIRGINIA.” In “Virginia,” in which Madeleine Carroll and Fred Mac Murray are presented as a starring team for the third time, Paramount has produced in technicolour an original story of modern Virginia. It tells of a woman whto chooses a life of reality on her plantation, with its genuineness and homespun realities and unselfish consideration for other people’s needs, rather than the life of meaningless gaiety she would lead married to a rich; handsome Northerner. The film is alive with powerful drama, and yet, in proper places, it is touched with bright comedy. Miss Carroll as Charlotte Dunterry, the Virginia-born girl who has lived most of her life in the North returning home unaware of the obligations to her Southern heritage, and Mac Murray as Stonewall Elliott, who awakens in her the slumbering love for the South, are both splendid in their roles. As Norman Williams the I rich, gay Northerner, Stirling Hayden, who forms the third point in the romantic triangle, turns in an extremely impressive performance. “Virginia” will be shown tonight.
