REGENT THEATRE.

Ihe reputation of the Regent Theatre lor programmes par excellence was further enhanced last night when two outstanding vaudeville items and good picture supports led up to the star film, "Tin Wods. Gerardo and Adair, straight from New York, performed most graceful and gymnastic dances to the pleasure of the audience, and Clem May was acorded a great reception for his Dickens sketches of Fagin, Charles Barney, and Scrooge. "Tin Gods" shows the danger a woman runs when she neglects her home life for a public one. Jauet Stone loved politics more than her husband and son, and has no one but herself to blame when her husband leaves her to pursue his own life work of building bridges. He trys to drown his sorrow at the loss of their child in drink, and then comes black fever. Through all his trouble, Carita, a dancing girl, stands by him, and then when ho is restored to health Janet appears at Del Rio. She has failed in her electoral campaign chiefly becauso of the scandal aroused by reparation from her husband, and so she decides re-union will better suit her ends. Roger welcomes her coming, for he is determined to make the break complete, obtain a divorce, and marry Carita. Through a misunderstanding, Carita thinks Roger is going to return with Janet, and unable to bear separation, she jumps from the great bridge which Roger has nearly flung across the Del Rio gap. Roger lifts her broken body from the rocks below, and, vowing lifelong remembrance to the one rood woman, in his life, he builds a chanel to her memory. Thomas Meighan docs good work as Roger Stone, Renee Adoree is a delightfully vivacious dancing girl, and Aileen Pringle takes the part of the selfish wife. The' playing of the Regent Orchestra 'is all that could be desired, and patrons will enjoy every minute of this week's programme at the theatre.
