REGENT THEATRE
“THE MAN WHO LOST HIMSELF.” “The Man Who Lost Himself,” a comedy full of laughs will be shown at the Regent Theatre tonight. Built along farcial lines, “The Man Who Lost Himself” presents Brian Aherne and Kay Francis in the starring roles of a picture based upon H. DeVere Stacpoole’s famous novel of the same name. Aherne plays two roles, Evans and Scott. Evans is a sober business man, Scott is an eccentric man abouttown. Scott gets himself so involved with women, debts and other annoyances that he commits suicide —but not until he has installed Evans, who looks remarkably like him, in his own home. When Evans tries to convince the servants and Mrs Scott that he is Evans, and not Scott, no one, not even Mrs Scott, believes him. And in the complications which follow, Evans finds himself in love with Mrs Scott and wants to marry her. The situation furnishes a steady flow of excellent comedy. In supporting roles are seen Henry Stephenson as the family attorney; S. Z. Sakall as the bewildered butler; Nils Asther, Mrs Scott’s sympathetic admirer; Marc Lawrence as a blackmailer, and Dorothy Tree as Scott’s conspiring lady friend.
