REGENT THEATRE.

>t I a.mval of the first white man to .North America and the gradual development of the native race of the Western hemisphere are depicted in "The Vanishing Kace," Paramount's screen version of Zane Grey's story of the slowly disappearing Red Man, which commenced screening at the Regent Theatre to-day. The prehistoric episode of the production which briefly reviews the story of the early days of civilisation and preeivilisation are among the most powerful in the production, and are the result of months ot tireless effort. To make these and the more modern scenes, Richard Dix, who plays the role of the Indian hero or Grey's W. Lois AVilson, Noah- Beery, Malcolm MGregor, and the other players all lived \tlie outdoor life that was the lot of all the others. Lucien Hubbard, editorial superviser of all Zane Grey productions tor Paramount, adapted "The Vanishing lvace' for screen use. Ethel Doherty wrote the continuity, George B. Seitz directed the picture. A special prologue will be provided by a party of ten American Red Indians, who appear on the sta^e m their full tribal costumes, with their picturesque head-dresses, and address the audience in their native tongue, arid per•l m dances and demonstrate their skill with the ancient weapons of their ancestors. A special musical score will be presented with the film.
