REGENT THEATRE

“THE ROAD TO ZANZIBAR.” The current programme headed by the brilliant comedy, “The Road to Zanzibar,” will be finally shown tonight. “THE TREE OF LIBERTY.” Most of “The Tree of Liberty,” which will be shown tomorrow night, is played against a background of imminent war, and the conflict of family opinion on the subject is superbly pointed by Sir Cedric Hardwicke, who plays the part of Fleetwood Peyton, Jane’s irascible elder brother, so blueblooded that he almost hates himself. For the first time since schooldays, the Boston tea party acquires some significance. The war is shown in realistic detail as a boring, bitter, starving business that at times tests the courage even of the hardy American backwoodsmen. This is an exciting, human sort of drama with some quite unexpected twists. Cary Grant plays the part of Matt Howard, a backwoods Virginian whose countrybred independence won him a high place in the history of his State. Opposite him as his leading lady is Martha Scott as Jane Peyton, daughter of an aristicratic family. The supports include a special feature —“International Forum” — which brings together famous personalities in open discussions of world wide events. Dorothy Thompson, famed columnist and bitted foe of Hitler; Wythe William L. Shirer, Berlin, correspondent his forecasts of events to come; William L. Shirer Berlin, correspondent for the C. 8.5., who has just returned from there, and Linton Wells, author and United Press Correspondent in the far Eastern Continents, relate theff views and argue their respective points most convincingly.
