REGENT THEATRE.
"We're in the Navy Now" bt ought the house down at the Regent Theatre last night. Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton, whose work as comedians is well known from the roles they played in "Behind the Front," a picture which was recently shown here, appear in this Paramount production, and they are inimitable. The opening scenes are laid in the pme ring, and next in a naval training camp trom whence the action shifts to a troop transport, a small row-boat, a submarine, a French dreadnought, France, and theu back to where it all started. To tell more of the story would be to spoil the interes: of patrons. But let them know that the • love interest" is not forgotten, and that laughs are long and frequent in this splendid comedy. The vaudeville portion of ■ ie programme is well sustained by the sensational dancers Gerardo and Adair, who delighted last .week's audiences and are well, on the way to captivate this, and wee seven-year-old Jackie Clark (Australia's own Jackie Coogan), who at once established .himsell as a firm favourite, especially with the children present. The members of the Regent Orchestra, under Mi. M. T. Dixon, played appropriate music with their usual ability, and so greatly added to the pleasure of the evening's entertainment.
