REGENT THEATRE
‘•SAILORS THREE/’ • One of the biggest cases of mistaken identity on record, provides the theme of the Michael Balcon A.T.P. comedy, “Sailors Three,” starring Tommy Trinder, Britain’s new film funster, which will be shown at the Regent Theatre tonight. This gigantic error is explained by the fact that the three jolly Jack Tars in the British Navy, leave it to the last minute to return to their ship, after shore leave, and scramble on to a German pocket battleship by mistake. After numerous complications and misadventures, they succeed in turning their colossal error into one of the most terrific naval feats ever performed. The real reason for the mistake of the “Sailors Three” is too much celebrating during shore leave. But really they are not to blame for getting drunk. Circumstances are entirely responsible, and some of the most amusing scenes of the film shows how, very much against their wills they are plied with considerable more drink than they can take. However, they finally succeed in getting back safely aboard ship, but of course, the wrong ship, the Nazi battleship, “Ludendorff.”
