REGENT THEATRE. ♦" . "THE MARRIAGE PLAYGROUND" Adapted from Edith Wharton 3 book, "The Children," Paramount'e romarkable all-dialogue production, "The Marriage Plaj'ground," will be presented at the Regent on ( Monday next. The "Exhibitors HeraldWorld" says: "If we were to select a picture for all-the world to tee and hear, we would .name 'The Marriage Playground' as that one. It is tljte most human, sincere, and touching performance that we have seen for some time. In the space at hand wo can do scant justice to 'The Marriage Playground. 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 say any more is to add nothing essential to the statistical facts, and we have said the principal thing worth Baying in the opening sentence." A particularly interesting and appropriate movietone talkie of Phar Lap's Melbourne Cup will also be shown. The box plans are now open at The 'Bristol Piano Company.
