REGENT THEATRE.

"THE MARRIAGE PLAYGROUND"

Adapted from Edith Wharton's hook, "The Children," remarkable all-dialogue production, "The Marriage Playground," will be presented at the Regent on Monday next. The "Exhibitors HeraldWorld'' says: "If we wore to select a picture for all the world to t-ee and hear, we would name 'The Marriage Playground' os that one. It is the most human, sincere, and touching' performance that wo have seen for some time. In the space *at hand wo can do scant jußlice to 'The Marriage Playground.' It is Mary Brian's best picture. The six or seven young children taking part are wonderful. It's point is to show what divorce, re-marriage, and the social whirl does and does not do for the children. To say any more is to add nothing essential to the statistical facts, and we have said the principal thing worth saying in the opening sentence." The box plans are now ojen at The Bristol Piano Company.

"THE FLIRTING WIDOW," A delightfully bmusing farce, full of ludicrous situations and amazing coincidences, is showing at the Kegent Theatre this week. "The Flirting Widow" is acted by an allEnglish cast who interpret their parts in a finished and natural manner. Dorothy Mackail and Basil Rathbone have the leading parts. Included in the newsreel are some excellent "shots" of Kingeford Smith landing in Australia in the Southern Cross Junior.
