REGENT THEATRE.

TSie.'pictureAofZane .Grey's book, "Tho Vanishing Race," is- drawing big. houses at thjg 1' Regent Theatre. ..'.The audience are doubly - intrigued- with the prologue, which i. gives them/ • the 1 very unusual opportunity of seeing some of the actors. themselves, who are members of that' ancient and romantic and now "vanishing - rape,'': 'the Red -Indian. Four of;, y, them w^re. engaged in , making :I:.the picture, but .all received a ver^.-'wajm, welcome .when they appeared 1; in full regalia, complete with feathered head-dress, moccasins, and beads,..to give several striking, tableaux. Haunting Indian music by the Regent Orchestra, under Mr.'..My T. Dixon, helped to create the proper atmosphere". .The story of 'the '^Vanishing Race" concerns the exploitations of the Indians by an agent, who steals their-lands-and' exiles their people while the braves-are away! fighting in;theworld ,war. Revenge'is planned and executed on their return, but later grievances are settled, and there is at least one happy marriage. "The Vanishing Race" is by fay the best picture of its kind seen in Wellington, and the management of the Regent Theatre is to be congratulated upon securing it and also the presence of the Indians themselves. The braves will appear at afternoon and evening sessions only. ■ ■ ■■: -,-...-
