AMUSEMENTS

The Regent ’•Mutiny 'on tlie Bounty” Mctru-Uoldwyn-M;iyrr's great sea picture tliat opened last night at the Uegeut Theatre, carries one uway with the sheer intensity of its drama. Although a historical romance, wrung from the 'actual records of the British Admiralty, it is far more absorbing than pure fiction. It is a superb achievement in motion pictures, a historical picture as it Simula tie, and one that will live for years to ■come as one of the most exciting sea tales ever screened. The picture is the true story of the voyage of 11.M.5. Bounty 150 years ago, on a scientific expedition to tlie South ’Seas. It tells of ttie tyranny of a brutal captain who drove ids crew to mutiny, of the life and loves of the sailors in a tropical paradise, and the dogged pursuit of Captain Bligli for tlie men who had fed him to the wrath of Hie sea by easting him adrift in an open boat.. Town Hall A rib-rocking mystery thriller Unit dispenses laughs and suspense in equal measure, is offered by Fox Film in "The Great Hotel Murder." which starts its engagement to-day at the Town Hall Theatre. Kdmnnd Lowe and Victor Me I.avion, that popular team of easy-going buffoons who have appeared jointly in eight pictures since they were spot-lighted in "What Price Glory," are eo-featured in this comedy drama. In the supporting east are such talents as Itosemary Ames, Mary Carlisle, Henry U'Neill and C. Henry Gordon.
