REGENT THEATRE.
"THE MARRIAGE PLAYGROUND"
Adapted from Edifcli Wharton's booif, "The Children/' Paramount's remarkable all-dialogue production, "The Marriage Playground," will, "be presented at the Kegent on Monday next. The "Kxhibitors HeraldWorld" eaye: "it we wore to aelect a picture, for all the world to t-ee and hear, we would name 'The Marriage Playground' aa that one." It is the most human, aincere, and touching performance that wq have seen for some lime. - In the apace at hand wo can do acant justice to 'The Marriage Playgrourid. It is Mary Brian's best picture. The six or seven young children taking part are wonderful. It's point ie to show what divorce,, re-marriage, and the social whirl does and does not do for the children. To aay 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 open at The Bristol Piano .Company. "THE FLIRTING WIDOW." Dorothy Mackail and Basil Rathbone have the leading parts in "The Klirting Widow,'' a delightfully amusing farce, - full of ludicrous situations and amazing coincidence, showing at the Regent Theatre this week. It is : acted by an ail-English cast, who interpret their parts in a finished and natural manner.;. Included in the newsreel are somo excellent "shots"'* ofJCingsford Smith landing In Australia in the Southern Cross Junior.''
