REGENT THEATRE.
The picture of Zano Grey's book, "The Vanishing Race," is drawing big houses at the Regent Theatre, and tlie audiences arc doubly intrigued with the opportunity of seeing some of the Indians themselves. All receive a very warm welcome when they appear in full regalia, complete with feathered head-dress, moccasins, and-beads, to give several striking tableaux. Haunting- t Indian music by the Regent Orchestra, under Mr. M. T. 'Dixo'n, helps to create y 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 the world 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 far 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.
