REGENT THEATRE
“HALF WAY TO SHANGHAI” At the Regent Theatre tonight there will be presented an exceptionally good double-feature programme headed by “Half Way to Shanghai." Described as a fast-moving action melodrama, the story is centred aboard a railroad train running from Lashio, Burma Road terminus, to Rangoon. Included in the cast is Irene Hervey, who portrays an impoverished White Russian; Kent Taylor, cast as an American construction engineer; a trio of German Gestapo agents, a retired British Army officer, and a Burmese detective. Exciting from it’s opening scene, the picture is one that keeps the audience in a state of excitement for an hour. The associate feature, “Timber,” pictures another acute phase of the war on the home front —the threat of sabotage of our forests. Co-starred are a trio of favourites—Leo Carrillo, Andy Devine and Dan Dailey, Junr. “Reap the Wild Wind” will commence its Masterton season at a matinee at 2.15 on Saturday.
