THE REGENT THEATRE.
_ To-day, at 10 o'clock, the hox plaii for the grand gala night and. the "Beau Geste" season opened at the theatre itself and at The Bristol. The management regrets that, owing to the excessive advance bookings anticipated, they will not be able to accept any telephone bookings for either Friday or Saturday nights. The Regent is said to be equal to any theatre in New Zealand or Australia, in luxury, comfort, and service. The first ..icture selected is P. C. Wren's epic story, "Beau Geste," featuring Ronald Coleman, Alice Joyce, Noah Beery, and "The Peter Pan Girl," Mary Brian.; In addition to the motion picture programme, two of tlie greatest of J. C. Williamson's vaudeville acts that have just finished a phenomenal season at the Tivoli Theatres at Melbourne and Sydney will be presented. Miss Hilda Lilson, the well-known English grand opera and musical comedy star, -will be heard in selections from her repertoire, and Zoe Delphine and Co., with her partner, will be seen for the first time in New Zealand, in their famous wire and novelty, act. Patrons are earnestly advised to avail themselves of the booking arrangements, so as to avoid any disappointment that may arise, in not securing seats for the gala opening.
